I think one of the great bits of The Muppet show is that it was set in a 19th century British theater and they live so nicely amongst that lovely old theater.

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.

Inevitably in any work you do I think that there is a sense of continuity, and I like that.

My kids were always my test audience. I'd take home the dailies and show them what we'd been filming that day.

I never want to make a movie which is going to be CG filled, cold, and computerized.

The Muppet Show is very much seen as an English thing. So for us in the U.K. it is one of the treasures of the history of children's TV and of comedy basically.
