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

When The Muppet Show ended, we all sat around and said, what kind of television show would we like to do. We felt the need these days are for some quality children's programming.

A film is not done by one person. It's done by a lot of people. I love this whole collaborative aspect. When it works well, you end up with something better than any of us started out to do.

I try hard not to judge anyone, and I try to bless everyone who is a part of my life, particularly anyone with whom I am having any problems

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

[Kids] don't remember what you try to teach them. They remember what you are.

But with The Dark Crystal, instead of puppetry we're trying to go toward a sense of realism - toward a reality of creatures that are actually alive and we're mixing up puppetry and all kinds of other techniques.
