I can't tell you how many people would say to me as a teenager, 'Why don't you grow up and start thinking about getting a real job?

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.

When I do a mask, I do try to put a lot of character and a lot of expression into the sculpt.

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.

So many of my dreams were to actually be able to make a living of what I did as a hobby.

When you're working on a movie you always hope that people will go for it and enjoy what you're doing.
