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 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.

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 do fat people and these makeups are really hard to do, but I want to make monster movies.

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

I've said this so many times but there's a magic when you have a really good actor in a really good makeup.

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