I don't want to be doing movies that I don't want to do. They take so much out of you.

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

I have always tried to stay current.

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.

The problem I have with schools is, people are taught, 'This is how you do this.' They're not taught about why you do this.

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