It's fun doing new things.

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.

I have a job that I truly love, and an enormous crew of people that can do things better than I can!

Usually people who are in my position, they run a company and they hire people and then they take the credit for it.

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'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.

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