I hate wasting time or money and that happens all the time for no good reason, and then people save money by skimping on the important things.

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.

The first time I made myself up, I was looking at my reflection in the mirror and it wasnt me looking back. It allowed me to do things I couldnt do as myself. I found out how powerful that was and how much that can mean to an actor.

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

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

I've said this so many times but there's a magic when you have a really good actor in a really good makeup.

I'm amazed that movies ever get finished at all - much less come out good once in a while. It's an awful lot of work and it can go wrong a thousand different ways.
