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 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 do fat people and these makeups are really hard to do, but I want to make monster movies.

When you're working on a movie you always hope that people will go for it and enjoy what you're doing.

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

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

I feel like I have to top myself every film I do, and it gets hard.
