“I first met Walt Disney 25 or 30 years ago.”

“Ventriloquism today is in a slump.”

“I think television defeats ventriloquism.”

“Children are so used to seeing puppets that when they see a real ventriloquist they don't understand it.”

“Walt gave me a VIP tour of the studio. I remember people doing voices.”

“On television, everyone talks and they don't care about the mechanics.”
