Inevitably in any work you do I think that there is a sense of continuity, and I like that.

There's a cyclical nature to what people like in the world. Through time, things come around again.

You are a product of what you watch as a kid largely.

I think one of the great bits of The Muppet show is that it was set in a 19th century British theater and they live so nicely amongst that lovely old theater.

I am always a great fan of keeping things on an eye level for comedy because it plays better.

I never want to make a movie which is going to be CG filled, cold, and computerized.

Honestly, puppets themselves are actors effectively. The joy of puppetry is that it is very simple and low-fi, which I love.

You're basically the same person forever so you find the same stuff funny forever. The Muppet Show spoke to me at 5 and it speaks to me in my late 30s in the same way.

I am a great believe that your humor is developed at a very early age and it doesn't ever change.

The Muppet Show is very much seen as an English thing. So for us in the U.K. it is one of the treasures of the history of children's TV and of comedy basically.

I think the children of Hollywood are more influential than the parents.

You are brighter than the sunlight and bolder than a rainbow. You are the reason spring was created in the first place.

We are not at war with Egypt. We are in an armed conflict.

Magnus did not like to go near the Hotel Dumont if he could help it. It was decrepit and unsettling, it held bad memories, and it also occasionally held his evil former lady love.

Angels and demons were identical--interchangeable archetypes--all a matter of polarity. The guardian angel who conquered your enemy in battle was perceived by your enemy as a demon destroyer.

The simplest kind of decision is binary: that is, the question can be answered, in principle at least, by either yes or no.

Never dip lower than you can dip.

You words affect generations after you. Speak blessings and favor over them.

Don't cry out loud, keep it inside, learn how to hide your feelings. Fly high and proud, and if you should fall, remember you almost had it all.
