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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.
