All I do is work, that's all my life is work.

When we see something beautiful it calls up raw, naked emotion and that's an embarrassing situation to be in.

Artists are people who create beauty. That's the bottom line.

I'm a perfectionist I guess. Everyone has to love me.

I throw dignity out the window, and just become a creature of the moment on the stage. I act like I'd never act in real life.

First of all I think of puppets as sculpture. They are sculpture that moves. You could label it any way you want, but for me it always starts in my mind as a sculpture.

I had to learn to do stuff only for myself, and stop thinking about pleasing some imaginary client or boss. It's a habit that many artists get into that have worked in commercial ventures.
