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

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.

CGI has a lot of backlash now. I think it's just because there are so many people doing it. It's a tool and it's only as good as the people behind it.

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

I can't tell you how many people would say to me as a teenager, 'Why don't you grow up and start thinking about getting a real job?

I have a job that I truly love, and an enormous crew of people that can do things better than I can!

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 hate wasting time or money and that happens all the time for no good reason, and then people save money by skimping on the important things.

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 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 was born in 1950 and watched science fiction and horror movies on TV and was always really fascinated by them.

And every good artist knows that the gift comes from somewhere else, and it's there for a reason, and that's to make the world a better place.

Writer's block isn't always a problem. It can be a process of writing that helps us write better.

A picture is worth a thousand words.......and a video is worth a million pictures.....

You can delegate many things, but prayer is not one of them.

Having the baby changed my life a lot. I don't want to go on the road.

I watch people from the top of buses who don't know they're being watched. It's quite fascinating.

Mel Gibson doesn't need your judgment, he needs your prayers.

I'm planning a catastrophe.

It’s not what happens to you, but how you handle it. If Life gives you lemons, make lemonade. If the lemons are rotten, take out the seeds and plant them in order to grow new lemons.

We should always remember that sensitiveness and emotion constitute the real content of a work of art
