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.

It's a funny relationship that makeup artists have. I always feel kind of like a dentist. People look at me and think of pain.

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

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.

The first time I made myself up, I was looking at my reflection in the mirror and it wasnt me looking back. It allowed me to do things I couldnt do as myself. I found out how powerful that was and how much that can mean to an actor.

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