My hope still is to leave the world a bit better than when I got here.
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.
At the University of Maryland, my first year I started off planning to major in art because I was interested in theatre design, stage design or television design.
And also there wasn't much money in television in those days anyhow.
I was very interested in theatre, mostly in stage design. I did a little bit of acting.
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.
Life's like a movie, write your own ending. Keep believing, keep pretending.
