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

I love making scary faces, that's just how I grew up.

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.

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.

It's a funny relationship that makeup artists have. I always feel kind of like a dentist. People look at me and think of pain.

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

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