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.
From Rick Baker
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 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.
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.
Grinch had so many people in make up - virtually everybody. We had about 100 people a day for five months. And every day we would use 100 sets of appliances.
I have a job that I truly love, and an enormous crew of people that can do things better than I can!
I was born in 1950 and watched science fiction and horror movies on TV and was always really fascinated by them.
I always wanted to make aliens that looked like '60s aliens.
I have always tried to stay current.
Sometimes we think of a creature like a person in a suit, but then you have limitations of two eyes and two legs - they have to see and breathe. I got more into puppetry because it offered more possibilities.
