Stan Winston's quotes

Kristanna Loken created the TX. I would like to think that the vision of what was under her skin helped her with it, but the fact of the matter is that Kristanna Loken is the TX as Robert Patrick was the T-1000. - on Terminator T-X
I do my art for art's sake on my own time. I spend as much time as I want on it because it's art for art's sake and it's not for a dollar. It's not with business parameters.
I don't do special effects. I do characters. I do creatures.
A director like James Cameron is cursed with a vision. He knows how to do it all. He's a phenomenal artist. He draws, he imagines, he writes the entire screenplay. He knows how everything is that he wants to have done.
I came out as an actor. I'm a painter and a sculpture and an artist. Everything about my being is creating characters that tell stories in films.
