I always wanted to make aliens that looked like '60s aliens.

It's a funny relationship that makeup artists have. I always feel kind of like a dentist. People look at me and think of pain.

I do fat people and these makeups are really hard to do, but I want to make monster movies.

I have always tried to stay current.

I do a lot of CG stuff for fun.

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.

I was born in 1950 and watched science fiction and horror movies on TV and was always really fascinated by them.
