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.

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

I'm not really listed anywhere; I don't know how people find me!

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

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.

I do what I did as a hobby as a kid, you know, and make a living at it. And I just feel like I'm one of the luckiest guys in the world 'cuz I get paid to make toys and play with them.

I have a job that I truly love, and an enormous crew of people that can do things better than I can!
