Performance technologies that were created by Jim Henson and the Muppets, and created the Terminator as a puppet, as a full sized organic puppet, and it was the first time that anybody had seen something that life size, using animatronics for the head and neck, to be able to operate it. We broke ground with The Terminator (1984). Nobody had ever seen anything like it. - [about the creativity for The Terminator (1984)] Show less «

It was a very important movie for me because it (Congo (1995)) was the first big gorilla movie that I had done. The next thing that I did was a movie called Instinct (1999), with Anthony Hopkins, which I think was the best gorillas I've ever seen on film, and I could never have done that movie if I had not made mistakes on Congo (1995). My mistakes, whether anybody else sees them or not, I go, you know what, this could have been more real, I could have done this differently. You learn. - [about opportunities] Show less «

You have to understand that rightly or wrongly, I consider myself an artist and I consider the work that we do art. In helping to tell stories by creating these characters. I came out as an actor. I am not a technician. I am techno-ignorant, but I love creating characters and telling wonderful stories. Thinking of myself as an artist doesn't allow me to think of size having to do with importance. Show less «

As an artist for arts sake, I have my own sculptures that I do for myself that I can spend as much time as I want on. Part of the creative challenge of this business, is to go, you know what, I've got this much money and this much time to do this job. I will do the best I can within those parameters. That's what being a professional is. That's not art for art's sake. This is the motion picture business. If you only do stuff that you have all the time and money to do, you would never work in this business. Show less «

There's nothing more important to me in my life than my family, and nothing will ever take over. I believe that's why the work shows as well as it is because my work is not a sacrifice. My work is a joy. I'm not sacrificing my family for my work. I go in and I love what I do. I love nothing more than my family, and now grand kids. Wow, hard to believe because I'm like 36 years old!
