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.

It's fun doing new things.

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

The problem I have with schools is, people are taught, 'This is how you do this.' They're not taught about why you do this.

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

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'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.
