issues views people
I have a similar issue with people who hire me as I do with women. 'You have to have a particular taste to want to be around me. I have a slightly askew view.
unbearable bears scripts
Fozzie Bear has so many bear puns in this script - like, 'Trac is grizzly!' 'This is unbearable!' It's the greatest.
kids adventure scripts
I sold my first script when I was 21 - this kids' adventure movie that never got made. I just bought that one back, actually. I'm pretty psyched about it.
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.
life perfectly watch
I don't like when I watch a fight in a movie that's perfectly worded and very articulate. If you were able to be that composed, you wouldn't be fighting! Fighting in real life is sloppy.
anywhere ate diet four near pocket pockets
I went on a Hot Pocket diet where I ate two Hot Pockets every four hours. I only had the pepperoni pizza flavour. I didn't go anywhere near the cheeseburger macaroni.
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.
