Watch Out For The Icy Patch

When I Was Young, My Ambition Was To Be One Of The People Who Made A Difference In This World. My Hope Is To Leave The World A Little Better For Having Been There.

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.

I've Always Tried To Present A Positive View Of The World In My Work. It's So Much Easier To Be Negative And Cynical And Predict Doom For The World Than It Is To Try And Figure Out How To Make Things Better. We Have An Obligation To Do The Latter.

I Don't Resent Working Long Hours. I Shouldn't- I'm The One Who Set Up My Life This Way. I Love To Work. It's The Thing That I Get The Most Satisfaction Out Of-nd Probably What I Do Best. Not That I Don't Enjoy Days Off. I Love Vacations And Loafing Around. But I Think Much Of The World Has The Wrong Idea Of Working. It's One Of The Good Things In Life. The Feeling Of Accomplishment Is More Real And Satisfying Than Finishing A Good Meal- Or Looking At One's Accumulated Wealth.
