thinking style helping
One thing that I think never goes out of style is just purity. Niceness and purity. And the Muppets have never lost that. Kermit especially is just wide-eyed wonder, unblinking. And he cant blink. Which I think probably helps.
mom rooms firsts
The first time my mom found condoms in my room, she literally started crying hysterically.
kids men jimmy
When you're a kid, Kermit is Tom Hanks. He's Tom Hanks for kids or Jimmy Stewart for kids. He's truly the every man.
wise acting scared
I like to be challenged acting wise and I like to do things that I'm scared of.
men people reason
People have a lot less leniency for some reason for women straying from a relationship than they do for men.
body facts film
The whole thing that drew me to doing an animated film is that you're freed from the physical limitations of your physical body. All of a sudden, you get to be something that has nothing to do with the fact that I'm a 6'4", lumbering dude, and that is really exciting.
talking voice looks
It [voicing animation] is very freeing. Nobody in the cast is doing their voice. No one is talking like they normally talk and it's because, all of a sudden, you're freed from the physical limitations of how you look, which is amazing.
shame reason embarrassment
For some reason, I was born without a sense of embarrassment or shame.
drama writing giving
That's the best advice I can give - when you're trying to write a comedy, first write a drama, and then make it funny.
achievement needs rich
If it's achievement that you place your value in, you're never going to achieve enough. If it's power, you always need to wield power over others. If it's money, you'll never be rich enough. But if you do something and are a part of what is happening, then you're always in it and it's always enough.
persons
I'm better looking in person.
two together looks
I have always felt like romantic comedies are incredibly predictable. You look at the poster and you know those two are ending up together at the end of the movie.
kids thinking years
We have reached a very cynical era of comedy. The Muppets have proven, for 40 years, that you can get laughs without ever doing it at someone else's expense, and I think that that's a really important thing for kids to realize.
unique men mind
A man can certainly be a Muppet. Being a Muppet is a state of mind. It's about finding that little part of you that's unique, and not being embarrassed by it, but cherishing it.
