As a boy I believed I could make myself invisible. I'm not sure that I ever could, but I certainly had the ability to pass unnoticed.

I was very disappointed that so much of the work I did on The Haunted Mansion didn't arrive in the final cut.

At this point, it's either for fun or it's for money. I don't take movies that I don't really like.

I wasn't at all sure I could make that sort of leap into that sort of comic book reality.

Although you have some films that are a real bummer, there's always a film that comes up where it's just heaven.

From the very first movie I ever made to the current time, there have been times between action and cut when I've sensed some kind of new dimension that I haven't been familiar with before.

Peter Ustinov was the first really positive influence in my career. He was real and he bore witness to it. The things he said to you, he lived them.
