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

When you're working on a movie you always hope that people will go for it and enjoy what you're doing.

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

When my parents died, it became clear to me that there was an end in sight. Death was never a real thing to me. And then when that happened I realized I only have so many years left, if I'm lucky.

I find it kind of disturbing when people cheer when someone just gets stabbed brutally.

It's a funny relationship that makeup artists have. I always feel kind of like a dentist. People look at me and think of pain.

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.
