I was molded, spent my time underneath a lot of goo. And then the bits and pieces were sculpted. It took probably 10 days to create each character after all those camera tests.
Meaning of the quote
Brendan Fraser, an American actor, describes how the characters he plays are made. He says that first, his body is covered in a sticky goo to create the shape of the character. Then, the details of the character, like their face and clothes, are carefully sculpted. It takes about 10 days to fully create each character after many camera tests to get it just right.
