I watched 'The Muppet Movie' obsessively. I can still pretty much say a lot of the lines and do a pretty mean Fozzie Bear.

The bear is what we all wrestle with. Everybody has their bear in life. It's about conquering that bear and letting him go.

I was hiking a five-day loop - alone - in the Rocky Mountains when I rounded the switchback and saw a large body on the trail ahead. It had brown fur with a cinnamon tinge that was draped across dense, humped back muscle. A broad head lifted and I could see the dish-shaped muzzle was catching my scent. I knew bears. This was a grizzly.

I am a gummy bear fanatic.

To act with a tennis ball and imagine it's a tentacle, or if you're in some kind of wilderness film and you go, 'Okay, we can't have a grizzly bear here, but imagine when you step over the rock there there's a grizzly bear.' I don't know. They're tough moments.

All we are asked to bear we can bear.

To bear is to conquer our fate.

The great advantage of having a bear as a central character is that he can combine the innocence of a child with the sophistication of an adult.

True love bears all, endures all and triumphs!
