In response to Don Freeman's question: "Is the puppeteer a shy actor?"
Interview with Copley News Service (1976)
“We’re all puppets, Laurie. I’m just a puppet who can see the strings.”

“I would never do something with just puppets. . . But I like the things puppets allow you to do.”
As quoted in "New York at Work; Puppeteer Creates Shows for Grown-Ups" by N. R. Kleinfield The New York Times (2 July 1991)
Context: I would never do something with just puppets... But I like the things puppets allow you to do. I had this puppet Dinah Donewell, and she had this hand puppet named Mr. Pleaser. He was her lap dog who was constantly under her skirt. Now if you did that with actors, people would be offended. But in this case, so what? It was a puppet with a puppet.
