I used to have to save my allowances to buy a quart of rubber to make a mask, and it's how I spent all my free time.

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

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?

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