It has always been difficult to get Big Bird to be very pretty. Big Bird in England is much more gorgeous.

Yeah, we pretty much had a form and a shape by that time - a style - and I think one of the advantages of not having any relationship to any other puppeteer was that it gave me a reason to put those together myself for the needs of television.

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

It's pretty much run by everybody. We're very involved in everything that goes on. We always have been.

The wind is a very difficult sound to get. It's always changing.

I have always been a pretty big fan of ghost stories.
