When I was nine I played the Demon King in Cinderella and it launched me on a long and happy life of being a monster.

It grossed something like 12 million dollars and started a cycle of so-called boy-meets-ghoul horror films.

Certainly I was typed. But what is typing? It is a trademark, a means by which the public recognizes you. Actors work all their lives to achieve that. I got mine with just one picture. It was a blessing.

My wife has good taste. She has seen very few of my movies.

The average introduction to almost any book is somewhat of a bore

The monster was the best friend I ever had.
