When I do a mask, I do try to put a lot of character and a lot of expression into the sculpt.
I'm not really listed anywhere; I don't know how people find me!
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 feel like I have to top myself every film I do, and it gets hard.
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?
