I know that it's easier to portray a world that's filled with cynicism and anger, where problems are solved with violence. That's titillating. It's an easy way out. What's a whole lot tougher is to offer alternatives, to present other ways conflicts can be resolve, and to show that you can have a positive impact on your world.

A lot of the shows relate to interrelationships and attitudes, again, always trying to do it within the context of a very entertaining show.

People shouldn't come expecting to see the Muppets because they are not here. This is something else.

My hope still is to leave the world a bit better than when I got here.
