‘There is no contest as to the film Curry remembers most fondly. “I would love to work with the Muppets again,” he says. “The great thing is that the Muppeteers themselves, if they have their puppet on their hand, they only talk to you as the character. I love that.” Curry is aware of the popular trivia nugget about the film – that the reason he was so good in it was because he considered himself a fellow muppet – but that is categorically not how he sees it.
His favourite Muppet is Miss Piggy. “I ad-libbed a line, because me and Piggy were supposed to have had some kind of affair long ago, and I said: [he slips into his Devonshire pirate accent] ‘Well, I’ll tell you, Jim, once you’ve had pork, you never go back!’” It didn’t make the cut.’
— Tim Curry, interviewed in The Guardian, October 2025.
