I feel like I have to top myself every film I do, and it gets hard.

I used to have to save my allowances to buy a quart of rubber to make a mask, and it's how I spent all my free time.

There are so many decisions in making a movie.

Usually people who are in my position, they run a company and they hire people and then they take the credit for it.

When my parents died, it became clear to me that there was an end in sight. Death was never a real thing to me. And then when that happened I realized I only have so many years left, if I'm lucky.

Sometimes we think of a creature like a person in a suit, but then you have limitations of two eyes and two legs - they have to see and breathe. I got more into puppetry because it offered more possibilities.

I have always tried to stay current.
