“It is logical to assert that voice is a primary tool for the puppeteer when bestowing the impression of life on dead things”

“Giving voice to objects, along with movement, is a principle tool of the animator when intimating the ‘presence’ of a soul.”

“As soon as a puppet speaks, it is cultured, it has a past - it is not only living, it has lived”

“No matter how much some performers, scholars and trainers dislike puppets speaking, puppets and objects will be given and will find their voices.”
