Jim Henson, Sidney Nolan, Yoko Ono and Ayn Rand discuss puppets

  • YOKO ONO: I would love to appear on one of your television programs Mr Henson.
  • AYN RAND: why?
  • YOKO ONO: They are very funny and I like how the puppets get on.
  • JIM HENSON: Thank you its kind of you to say so. Im also a fan of yours and John Lennons music.
  • SIDNEY NOLAN: Who is your favourite puppet from the line of characters you have created Jim.
  • YOKO ONO: Thank you. John loves your programmes too.
  • JIM HENSON: Each character is special for me they represent different aspects of myself. Kermit the frog is perhaps closest to me. An altar ego of sorts.
  • AYN RAND: What does that say about you.
  • SIDNEY NOLAN: Big laughs. He is exceptional.
  • JIM HENSON: I dont know. I don’t think too much about it.
  • YOKO ONO: My favourite is Big Bird. He is so tall and gentle.
  • AYN RAND: To be honest I find it to be senseless entertainment. I prefer the celebration of men and what they can achieve.
  • JIM HENSON: Do you have children Ms Rand.
