I hate puppets so much.

Funny enough, there have been puppets in everything I've written because I have a huge love of puppets. There's a big puppet musical at the end of 'Sarah Marshall.' I wrote 'The Muppets.'

Puppet camp truly redefined my preconceptions of puppetry... I'll never forget learning that before a puppet can speak... he has to inhale. It's those details that make the characters truly come to life.

When I was a kid, I never saw a puppet show. I never played with puppets or had any interest in them.

I have no idea why people want to watch puppets be the slightly meaner version of the weirdo holding them. It's beyond my comprehension.

You can exaggerate with puppets. You're not trying to look like real people. The way the Muppets are designed is really appealing. Puppets are best if they're exaggerated creatures.

Let me tell you, I am nobody's puppet.

I could never be on stage on my own. But puppets can say things that humans can't say.

People react differently to puppets than they do to human performers: they become more playful, more open.

My puppets are far more liberated than I am. Ventriloquism is a useful way of expressing myself.
