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

That's the thing with animated films - I often feel that puppets get the better parts compared to us normal actresses.

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.

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.

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

No, there's not much competition between puppeteers in general because everybody's working their own style.

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 hate puppets so much.

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.

Children are so used to seeing puppets that when they see a real ventriloquist they don't understand it.
