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 funny: I've been very successful and done a lot of films, and I don't really have an agent - I don't really pursue jobs, I let people come to me.

So many of my dreams were to actually be able to make a living of what I did as a hobby.

CGI has a lot of backlash now. I think it's just because there are so many people doing it. It's a tool and it's only as good as the people behind it.

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

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.

When I do a mask, I do try to put a lot of character and a lot of expression into the sculpt.
