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

I'm amazed that movies ever get finished at all - much less come out good once in a while. It's an awful lot of work and it can go wrong a thousand different ways.

It's fun doing new things.

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

So many people of my generation all grew up with that shock theater package on television of 'Frankenstein,' 'Wolfman,' 'Dracula,' 'Mummy,' all the Universal stuff.

I do a lot of CG stuff for fun.

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