Do everything at 100 percent of its potential and never accept second best.

I believe that life is basically a process of growth-that we go through many lives, choosing those situations and problems that we will learn through.

There's not a word yet, for old friends who've just met.

Yeah, we pretty much had a form and a shape by that time - a style - and I think one of the advantages of not having any relationship to any other puppeteer was that it gave me a reason to put those together myself for the needs of television.

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

I've never felt any sense of competition with anybody, and we're all friends. We're all good friends.

Life's like a movie, write your own ending. Keep believing, keep pretending.
