My Morning Inspiration...

Many of the things I've done in my life have basically been self-taught. I think we, as the Muppets, broke new ground because we approached puppetry from a different angle. I had never worked with puppets when I was a kid, an even when I began on television, I really didn’t know what I was doing. I’m sure that this was a good thing, because I learned as I tackled each problem. I think if you study- if you learn too much of what others have done, you may tend to take the same direction as everybody else.
