Well, Detroit Institute Is Kind Of A

The Most Sophisticated People I Know - Inside They Are All Children.

But With The Dark Crystal, Instead Of Puppetry We're Trying To Go Toward A Sense Of Realism - Toward A Reality Of Creatures That Are Actually Alive And We're Mixing Up Puppetry And All Kinds Of Other Techniques.

I Really Do Believe That All Of You Are At The Beginning Of A Wonderful Journey.as You Start Traveling Down That Road Of Life, Remember This: There Are Never Enough Comfort Stops. The Places You're Going To Are Never On The Map. And Once You Get That Map Out, You Won't Be Able To Re-fold It No Matter How Smart You Are. So Forget The Map, Roll Down The Windows, And Whenever You Can Pull Over And Have Picnic With A Pig. And If You Can Help It Never Fly As Cargo.

I Don't Want'a Die... I Have Other Plans!
