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

We're all used to seeing pretty people. I want to see real people.

The way I talk to the puppets is real, and it's in the moment, and it's seeing what will happen. It's not something that is scripted.

I've been a ventriloquist since I was 10.

No! Someday you will understand. Just save it in a box.

Ventriloquism today is in a slump.
