There are so many decisions in making a movie.

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!

Now it was coming to an end, and it was like he was watching the last flicker of light wink out in the darkness of an endless tunnel.
