Well, Detroit Institute is kind of a key - probably the largest permanent collection of puppets in the US.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When I was a kid, I never saw a puppet show. I never played with puppets or had any interest in them.
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.'
I'm getting Puppetmasters, too. They're one of my favorites. And they're coming out with new Puppetmasters. I try not to get everything, but I want so much.
I'm not really a 'puppet' person in particular; I think they are very theatrical, and I've found different uses for them in shows, but my true interest is in writing Broadway musicals.
No, there's not much competition between puppeteers in general because everybody's working their own style.
Puppets seem like vampires sometimes. They live, and you're depleted.
I collect puppet stuff. I have a puppet workshop in my garage. I was looking for any opportunity to be able to get very creatively involved in that world.
The journalism school helped me develop writing skills, and I had been enjoying cartooning from a very young age. My interest in puppetry, however, came much later.
The world and the universe are far more wonderful if there's not a puppet master.
I hate puppets so much.
