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 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?

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

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

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

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

I enjoy doing digital work. I enjoy sculpting digitally. I've had my digital sculptures on covers of the top digital magazines.
