• It is no accident that I made Cartoon Town a simple little village - in many ways it mirrored my home town. And, yes, many of my puppet characters took on some of the more eccentric characteristics of people I knew there.

• I have always used the burqa because men are using the burqa in the name of culture and religion to take freedom from women. Women are alive, they have their own wishes and desires, but all the time they have to sacrifice that. They are a kind of skeleton, which doesn't have muscles. They're just breathing, like a kind of puppet that barely exists. If women spoke for their rights, they were beaten by their husbands. So they don't have a voice. They lose their voices and their wishes and their happiness.

• "There is nothing," says a correspondent of the New York Times, "which the business world discards as unpractical and useless so much as the quiet, thinking scholar. But this is the man who makes revolutions. Politicians are mere puppets in the hands of men of thought.

• I am drawn to writing and directing as it is most like the feeling I had when I was a teenager with my puppet theatre. You are more in control of everything and involved in every aspect of production, so more challenged and fulfilled.

• As a theatrical troupe, the Muppets haven't exactly been AWOL these past dozen years; the gang rocked YouTube in 2009 with their kick-ass rendition of Queen's 'Bohemian Rhapsody.' But they've certainly been lying low while our twitchy, tweet-y times have favored snarkier, more air-quote-driven entertainment, even from puppets. And in a way, that showbiz hiatus has worked in favor of The Muppets. For adults, the movie's gentle, clever, unironic humor feels freshly, trendily retro now, enhanced by laughs provided in cameos from a very up-to-date roster of stars.

• I don't like it when they [media critics] see me as this little person who doesn't know what to do with herself -- like I have no idea what I want, like I'm just a puppet ... That's demeaning to me, because that ain't how it is, and it never was.

• De ese terrible encuentro del alma con el mundo exterior nacen la enunciación, la sabiduría y la caridad; y con su nacimiento comienza una nueva vida. Llevar al santuario más íntimo del alma las fuerzas irresistibles cuyas marionetas parecemos ser -la Muerte y el cambio, lo irrevocable del pasado y la impotencia del Hombre ante la ciega prisa del universo de vanidad en vanidad- sentir estas cosas y conocerlas es conquistarlas.

• I wanted to deconstruct the puppet show. I wanted to turn it inside out and do stuff that you're not supposed to do. I didn't want it to be gentle like most puppet shows tend to be, since they come from childhood where you're gently trying to tell a story. I wanted to blast all that out of the water. I think there's plenty of room of any kind of attitude toward puppets. I call puppeteering acting while hiding.

• Sudáfrica, con el apoyo de Estados Unidos, después de la caída del imperio portugués, invadió Angola y Mozambique para establecer allí su propio régimen títere. Trataban de proteger a Namibia, de proteger el apartheid, y nadie hizo gran cosa al respecto; pero los cubanos enviaron fuerzas, y además enviaron soldados negros y derrotaron a un ejército mercenario blanco, lo que no sólo rescató a Angola, sino que provocó una conmoción en todo el continente -fue una conmoción psíquica-: se pretendía que los mercenarios blancos eran invencibles, y un ejército negro los derrotó y los hizo huir de vuelta a Sudáfrica.

• Yo diría que es un reto, pero también es útil. Es útil tener la disciplina de: "Vale, estoy haciendo algo que es bastante preciso aquí, trabajando con la marioneta, y estoy haciendo algo que es muy impreciso y creativo y desenfrenado aquí, que es el lado cómico". Y es agradable permitir que tu cerebro haga las dos cosas a la vez.

• And one of the funnest things was watching what they did before the director called action and after the director called cut. And they'd keep their hands in the puppets, they'd stay in character, and then they'd start goofing around with each other and be off of script, and it would get quite blue.

• We're also irreverent, we have an irreverent attitude towards puppets, as well. So a lot of what we do is we're kind of making fun of the puppets for being puppets, even while we're doing it. And again, that all feeds into the absurdity of this show.

• El hecho era asombroso: la raza avanzaba, lo conseguía y mejoraba en todos los sentidos. El progreso a través de errores irracionales y asombrosos, cuya extravagancia empequeñecía los clichés más salvajes del romanticismo, era lo que Kennaston encontraba por todas partes. Todo esto, pues, también estaba planeado de antemano, como lo habían estado todos los sucesos de Storisende, en su insignificante romance; y las marionetas, también aquí, se movían como pensaban por propia voluntad, pero en realidad para servir a un desenlace en el que muchas de ellas no tenían ningún papel o interés personal...
