I am a great believe that your humor is developed at a very early age and it doesn't ever change.

Honestly, puppets themselves are actors effectively. The joy of puppetry is that it is very simple and low-fi, which I love.

Cable news is 24 hours long so you have to fill it up with something. No, the Muppets are not communist. And the character of Tex Richman is not an allegory for capitalism in any way. The character is called Tex Richman. It's a joke. Clearly he is a classic, old school bad guy. He's bad not because he works for an oil company but because he's evil. No, it's not a communist movie in any way.

I love the idea that if you build something with enough depth and texture, you can watch it again and again and see new things every time, and that's very important.

You're basically the same person forever so you find the same stuff funny forever. The Muppet Show spoke to me at 5 and it speaks to me in my late 30s in the same way.

I think the children of Hollywood are more influential than the parents.
