I am always a great fan of keeping things on an eye level for comedy because it plays better.

You are a product of what you watch as a kid largely.

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

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

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.

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