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.

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'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.

There are so many decisions in making a movie.

I don't want to be doing movies that I don't want to do. They take so much out of you.

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.

I always wanted to make aliens that looked like '60s aliens.
