“Most puppets are inextricably linked to the puppeteer, or at least a presence, with the puppet often having the freer life, ironically. In Thunderbirds we can see the strings of the operator; Pinocchio is much a part of Geppetto; the Monster forever confused with Frankenstein; Punch and Judy linked to the operator by the presence of the operator down below in the booth; the doll in Coppelia part of Coppelius as much as Olympia is part of Dr Coppelius in Tales of Hoffman; Petruschka owned by the fairground barker , and so on, but in stop motion, the performer is removed, even if their personality is evident in the performance. In most cases the audience has no desire to know about the performer to enjoy the work.”

“There are two kinds of truth: the truth that lights the way and the truth that warms the heart. The first of these is science, and the second is art. Neither is independent of the other or more important than the other. Without art science would be as useless as a pair of high forceps in the hands of a plumber. Without science art would become a crude mess of folklore and emotional quackery. The truth of art keeps science from becoming inhuman, and the truth of science keeps art from becoming ridiculous.”
