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

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.

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.

So many people of my generation all grew up with that shock theater package on television of 'Frankenstein,' 'Wolfman,' 'Dracula,' 'Mummy,' all the Universal stuff.

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.

I've said this so many times but there's a magic when you have a really good actor in a really good makeup.

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.
