It's funny: I've been very successful and done a lot of films, and I don't really have an agent - I don't really pursue jobs, I let people come to me.

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.

Attitude is the mind's paintbrush. It can color any situation.

Its good to be alone than being alone with everyone.

A general flavour of mild decay but nothing local as one may say.

You must be able to see yourself, with your inner eye, already in possession of the good you desire.

I knew I was a good stage actor but I had no idea about movies. And I wasn't a Paul Newman type of guy. That's why I thought the stage is just right for me.

The liberal understanding of 'the separation of church and state' means that as the area of politics expands, the area of private freedom - religious and otherwise - shrinks.

I live alone with my one dog and they say it like it's a sad, it's a terrible thing. This woman lives alone with her two cats.

My dad is good at sticking with stuff and he has a strong work ethic, which is imbued in me. Growing up, he would constantly ask what I was doing and was I achieving anything.

If the Angels could envy, they would envy us for Holy Communion.
