About Frank Oz: Frank Oz is an English-born American director, puppeteer, actor, and filmmaker.
I never wanted to be a puppeteer. I stopped puppeteering when I was about 18. I puppeteered when I was eleven years old to 18 to make extra money to go to Europe, which I made half of and my parents gave me half.
There's a few movies I wanted to do, and I didn't get to do them partly because they wanted me to be part of the horse and pony show, getting the money, and I'm just not doing that. There's a few movies that people wanted me to do, but they were too ...
I've always wanted to do non-comedies. I've always done dramas, comedies, music, and I always like to bop around and do different things.
The biggest problems with movies are expectations.
The more work I do, the more important it is to work with people I like - who are very talented.
I look back on my work and I think, 'Oh, why didn't I do that differently?'
