A Quote by Steve Zissis

I directed the play 'Amadeus' with puppets way back in the day for theater. I also studied puppetry at the Eugene and Neil Center with a lot of the 'Sesame Street' people, so I do have a little bit of a history with puppetry.

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.

Jim Henson

And with puppets, especially in our company, we sort of demand a very high standard of puppetry, so it's a real technical skill.

Brian Henson

Honestly, puppets themselves are actors effectively. The joy of puppetry is that it is very simple and low-fi, which I love.

James Bobin

I'm probably the worst person in the world to give advice to puppeteers. My whole attitude towards puppets from the beginning was not one of love, but it was like anti-puppetry.

Wayne White

Puppets and dolls are the gateways between human beings and objects. There are tons of cliches to spout about puppetry and animism, the primacy of the object, attacking anthropocentric worldviews, etc, and while there were always puppets around, I started working with them to deal with the times I knew I wouldn't be able to collaborate with other humans, to have a team.

Kalan Sherrard

I really like doing puppetry; I'm not sure if it will find its way into 'Big Bang,' but it always does seem to find its way into a lot of things.

Kate Micucci

Art should be as inclusive as possible. That's why I like bringing the low form of puppetry and elevating it into a sculpture form, but it's still a puppet also.

Wayne White

I make napkins talk in restaurants, socks talk on car journeys. There is an awful lot of puppetry going on in the house.

Nina Conti

Eugene O'Neil created an American theater, and Tennessee Williams taught it how to sing.

John Guare

I always wanted to be on 'Sesame Street,' that kind of a thing, puppets and fun and original songs and fairy tales.

GloZell

I was already sort of mixing my science physics enthusiasm with entertainment and directing and puppetry.

Brian Henson

The joy of puppetry is that it is very simple and low-fi, which I love.

James Bobin

Music is an essential part of everything we do. Like puppetry, music has an abstract quality which speaks to a worldwide audience in a wonderful way that nourishes the soul.

Jim Henson

What I remember most about working on 'Sesame Street' is having fun in the green room with the other kids while waiting for my time to go on camera to work with the puppets.

Tyler James Williams

When I was in New York after I left the Army, I studied for two years at the American Theater Wing, studied acting, which involved dance and fencing and speech classes and history of theater, all that.

James Earl Jones

We're also irreverent, we have an irreverent attitude towards puppets, as well. So a lot of what we do is we're kind of making fun of the puppets for being puppets, even while we're doing it. And again, that all feeds into the absurdity of this show.

Brian Henson
