Puppets allow a person to express things through this surrogate that wouldn't normally get expressed. You know there's famous techniques of puppet therapists. Put this hand puppet on and tell me what the problem is.
Artists are people who create beauty. That's the bottom line.
Making art is nothing but risk, always. If it's not risk, it's no good.
I'm a sign painter with no boss.
I'm probably the worst person in the world to give advice to puppeteers. My whole attitude towards puppets from the beginning was not one of love, but it was like anti-puppetry.
