“Yeah, we pretty much had a form and a shape by that time - a style - and I think…” — Jim Henson

I've never felt any sense of competition with anybody, and we're all friends; we're all good friends.

I was very interested in theatre, mostly in stage design. I did a little bit of acting.

But with The Dark Crystal, instead of puppetry we're trying to go toward a sense of realism - toward a reality of creatures that are actually alive and we're mixing up puppetry and all kinds of other techniques.

Yeah, I think we did the term Muppets before we got the show Sam and Friends - a few months after I started working.
