Usually people who are in my position, they run a company and they hire people and then they take the credit for it.

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.

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

It's fun doing new things.

I can't tell you how many people would say to me as a teenager, 'Why don't you grow up and start thinking about getting a real job?

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.

There's a limit to what I can do with a makeup or with animatronics.
