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

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.

Yes, its one of the basic truths of the universe,....Things don't disappear. They just change, and change and change again.

No, there's not much competition between puppeteers in general because everybody's working their own style.

I spend a few minutes in meditation and prayer each morning. I find that this really helps me to start the day with a good frame of reference. As part of my prayers, I thank whoever is helping me - I'm sure that somebody or something is - I express gratitude for all my blessings and try to forgive the people that I'm feeling negative toward. I try hard not to judge anyone, and I try to bless everyone who is part of my life, particularly anyone with whom I am having any problems.
