I decided that what I really wanted to do was go off and paint Picture Quote #1

At the University of Maryland, my first year I started off planning to major in art because I was interested in theatre design, stage design or television design Picture Quote #1

Jim Henson was the only piece of fan mail I ever wrote when I was a little kid Picture Quote #1

I do remember doing shows strictly in black and white, too, so you’re right Picture Quote #1

If you’re doing a large, complicated character with radio controls, it might take a number of people several months to make it and if you’re talking about a quick little hand puppet, it could be made in 2 days, so there’s enormous range there, and no real easy generalities Picture Quote #1

No, there’s not much competition between puppeteers in general because everybody’s working their own style Picture Quote #1

When I was a kid, I never saw a puppet show. I never played with puppets or had any interest in them Picture Quote #1

Yeah, well when I first started working, it was $5 a show; it was probably a little higher by the time I got to my own show, but I remember that they put me under contract at $100 a week, which to me was really an astronomical price Picture Quote #1
