I love making scary faces, that's just how I grew up.

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 always wanted to make aliens that looked like '60s aliens.

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

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

I hate wasting time or money and that happens all the time for no good reason, and then people save money by skimping on the important things.

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.
