I have always tried to stay current.

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

I wanted to make sure to always stay current, try to find new material and stay with the modern techniques.

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.

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.

There's a limit to what I can do with a makeup or with animatronics.

I do a lot of CG stuff for fun.
