The actual tragedies of life bear no relation to one's preconceived ideas. In the event, one is always bewildered by their simplicity, their grandeur of design, and by that element of the bizarre which seems inherent in them.

At some point in your life, if you're lucky, you get to design the way in which things evolve.

It's all in how you arrange the thing... the careful balance of the design is the motion.

I was very interested in theatre, mostly in stage design. I did a little bit of acting.

We thought it would be fun to try to design a show that would work well internationally and so that' s what we're intending to do with Fraggle Rock, and we are indeed now selling it around the world.
