I really do believe that all of you are at the beginning of a wonderful journey.As you start traveling down that road of life, remember this: There are never enough comfort stops. The places you're going to are never on the map. And once you get that map out, you won't be able to re-fold it no matter how smart you are. So forget the map, roll down the windows, and whenever you can pull over and have picnic with a pig. And if you can help it never fly as cargo.

(Lisa Henson about her father) He admired the job of the man who walks along the road picking up trash with a long stick. He thought that guy had a great job, walking along with a stick, enjoying the road, and doing only good in the world, with hundreds of small actions.

Nobody creates a fad. It just happens. People love going along with the idea of a beautiful pig. It’s like a conspiracy.

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.

The most sophisticated people I've ever known had just one thing in common: they were all in touch with their inner children.

Please watch out for each other and love and forgive everybody. It's a good life, enjoy it.

Well, Detroit Institute is kind of a key - probably the largest permanent collection of puppets in the US.
