Rick Baker People Quotations

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.

I find it kind of disturbing when people cheer when someone just gets stabbed brutally.

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 have a job that I truly love, and an enormous crew of people that can do things better than I can!

I do fat people and these makeups are really hard to do, but I want to make monster movies.

I'm not really listed anywhere; I don't know how people find me!

The problem I have with schools is, people are taught, 'This is how you do this.' They're not taught about why you do this.

Very early in my career, I became disappointed with the limitations of make up. There's only so much you can build up on some people before it stops looking believable and starts looking like a mask. You're also limited by the face that you're working with. If you have a big nose, the make up has to have a big nose.

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.

People have been asking for this post office for more than 50 years, ... It just wasn't able to be done. It was very hard to do.

I had a blood-and-guts period when I was a kid, but I just think that whole splatter movie thing kinda got out of control, and too many people became too desensitized to other people being brutally murdered, you know?

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 people of my generation all grew up with that shock theater package on television of 'Frankenstein,' 'Wolfman,' 'Dracula,' 'Mummy,' all the Universal stuff.

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.
