I find it kind of disturbing when people cheer when someone just gets stabbed brutally.
It's fun doing new things.
I don't want to be doing movies that I don't want to do. They take so much out of you.
When you're working on a movie you always hope that people will go for it and enjoy what you're doing.
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'm not a big gore hound but monster gore is different to me than killing a teenager in any way that you can when another human-like person does it. I don't know how I rationalize that really but it seems different to me.
I do a lot of CG stuff for fun.
There are so many decisions in making a movie.
I enjoy doing digital work. I enjoy sculpting digitally. I've had my digital sculptures on covers of the top digital magazines.
I've said this so many times but there's a magic when you have a really good actor in a really good makeup.
The first time I made myself up, I was looking at my reflection in the mirror and it wasn't me looking back. It allowed me to do things I couldn't do as myself. I found out how powerful that was and how much that can mean to an actor.
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 feel like I have to top myself every film I do, and it gets hard.
Usually people who are in my position, they run a company and they hire people and then they take the credit for it.
So many of my dreams were to actually be able to make a living of what I did as a hobby.
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.
