Caroll Spinney Quotes

I’ve learned to say, ‘I’m a friend of Big Bird. He even taught me how to sound like him.’ Picture Quote #1

Big Bird went through his very human kind of struggles as a child. No other children’s character has been that complete and detailed Picture Quote #1

The other puppeteers are really good, often when they are singing together, they go left, right, left... But if they are all moving to the left, I’m moving to the right. Big Bird and Oscar, that’s okay, because they are individuals anyway Picture Quote #1

I see no reason to quit. I can’t imagine walking away from being Big Bird. I mean, that’s an awfully good job that there’s not too many of them. So I just want to keep doing it till I can’t do it anymore Picture Quote #1

I was asked to be on ‘The Colbert Report’ last year as Big Bird and Oscar. But when we got there, we discovered they wanted both characters on at the same time. Stephen Colbert didn’t know one man plays them both. We called Joey Mazzarino, our head writer, who’s a very good puppeteer as well. He agreed to zip over and do Oscar Picture Quote #1

I was suffering a divorce, and I was very unhappy because my children were very young. It hit me when a woman, a fan, was chatting with me. She was pleased to meet Big Bird because her children liked him and liked the show, but she didn’t know that my face was streamed with tears Picture Quote #1

I have a strong memory of my early childhood. I can remember life before I was two. I remember being toilet-trained like it was last week - and it wasn’t last week Picture Quote #1

Oscar is the exact opposite of how I think you should behave. I just think of it as a negative view of the positive mind I have. Big Bird is sweet and nice and also sympathetic, as kids can identify with him even though he looks like such a bizarre character - great 8 feet 2 inches, a beak 18 inches long Picture Quote #1
