There are so many forms of puppets. The ones on 'Sesame Street' are probably the most simple that we do. - Jim Henson

I think it's not particularly necessary to lead a religious life. People progress just as well in music, or art, or math or science or gardening or whatever. It all seems to work as well and the process is good.

I think there are lots of ways of leading very good lives and growing spiritually. This process of growth goes on whether we believe it or not.

I know that it's easier to portray a world that's filled with cynicism and anger, where problems are solved with violence. What's a whole lot tougher is to offer alternatives, to present other ways conflicts can be resolved, and to show that you can have a positive impact on your world. To do that, you have to put yourself out on a limb, take chances, and run the risk of being called a do-gooder.
