It has always been difficult to get Big Bird to be very pretty. Big Bird in England is much more gorgeous.

Yeah, I did some small parts in high school and the first year of college and then fairly soon thereafter I settled into the backstage scenery, and then at the University of Maryland I was doing posters for their productions.

I don't know exactly where ideas come from, it's just a matter of us figuring out how to receive the ideas waiting to be heard.

You're assisting the audience to understand; you're giving them a bridge or an access. And if you don't give them that, if you keep it more abstract, it's almost more pure. It's a cooler thing.

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

It's a wonderful life and I love it.

I think my own strengths are in television production.
