The beauty of nature has been one of the great inspirations in my life.

Actually the copies of characters is something I don't particularly like to talk about in articles but just for your information, most characters there's only one.

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

I was very interested in theatre, mostly in stage design. I did a little bit of acting.

Yeah, I think we did the term Muppets before we got the show Sam and Friends - a few months after I started working.

When I was young, my ambition was to be one of the people who made a difference in this world. My hope is to leave the world a little better for having been there.

I know that I personally have felt quite happy because I've done what I wanted to do. I pursued my interests and have thus managed to combine my business with lots of fun. I guess my only advice is to do what you enjoy, and try to do your best with it.
