Hi Mr. Oz! I'm from Denmark. So, I’m a very shy person and I’m currently trying to get into the animation industry. I wanna do creative work, but I’m afraid that my introversions and insecurities will limit my opportunities. I heard that you used to be a shy person, when you were younger, yet you still got up and performed (brilliantly I might add). How did you overcome shyness?

Was Miss Piggy’s voice hard on your vocal cords? Specifically, the singing? I'm from Denmark.

Wow, thank you sir, I will definitely take that to heart. I really have tons of respect and admiration for you and your work and hearing something like that coming from you, makes me very happy. thank you.

I’m currently attending animation school and taking a degree in characteranimation. What fascinates me and has always fascinated me about the Muppets is how genuinely alive and sentient they become when you watch them on screen. Through expressions and body language you brilliant puppeteers manage to convey so much about how the character is feeling, without even having to say a word. I want to transfer that knowledge of body language and other non-verbal communication when I animate a character. So I would really love to know, what is in your opinion, the most important thing to keep in mind when you want a character to come to life?

Dave Goelz said in an interview, that the way the Muppet performers created new characters was by taking a part of their own personality, isolating it, and amplifying it. I’m curious to know, is this true for Miss Piggy’s personality as well? If so, which part of your own personality shone through when you would perform Miss Piggy?
