I was born in 1950 and watched science fiction and horror movies on TV and was always really fascinated by them.

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

I'm not a big gore hound but monster gore is different to me than killing a teenager in any way that you can when another human-like person does it. I don't know how I rationalize that really but it seems different to me.

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

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

I wanted to make sure to always stay current, try to find new material and stay with the modern techniques.
