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.
From Jim Henson
Life's like a movie, write your own ending. Keep believing, keep pretending.
At the time of Polaroid - and I did a couple of other commercials just before I stopped doing that stuff - at that point I was at the level where they respect you and your opinion and all that sort of thing.
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.
My hope still is to leave the world a bit better than when I got here.
Yeah, well when I first started working, it was $5 a show; it was probably a little higher by the time I got to my own show, but I remember that they put me under contract at $100 a week, which to me was really an astronomical price.
When I was a kid, I never saw a puppet show. I never played with puppets or had any interest in them.
I've never felt any sense of competition with anybody, and we're all friends; we're all good friends.
The most sophisticated people I know - inside they are all children.
When I was young, my ambition was to be one of the people who made a difference in this world. My hope is to leave the world a little better for having been there.
