Characters Quote by Frank Oz

“The power of the 'Muppets,' and the popularity of these characters, is so iconic in people's lives that I had to distance myself from publicly. Not privately... Privately, hell, I'm with them for life, and I love these people. They're my second family.” quote by Frank Oz — Download Open image
