[Kids] don't remember what you try to teach them. They remember what you are.

At the University of Maryland, my first year I started off planning to major in art because I was interested in theatre design, stage design or television design.

I've always tried to present a positive view of the world in my work. It's so much easier to be negative and cynical and predict doom for the world than it is to try and figure out how to make things better. We have an obligation to do the latter.

Only time can heal your broken heart. Just as only time can heal his broken arms and legs.

Somebody like a Piggy or a Kermit, there needs to be several versions and so there will be several of them.

When I was a kid, I never saw a puppet show. I never played with puppets or had any interest in them.

Life's like a movie, write your own ending. Keep believing, keep pretending. We've done just what we set out to do. Thanks to the lovers, the dreamers and you.
