1. > You’ve talked before about struggling with mental health.

   > My real job was listening. Most children’s television talks to the camera, right? That’s kind of an established convention. But what “Blue’s Clues” did that I think was really a breakthrough is we listened. I worked really hard on making that as believable as possible. And that was becoming more and more challenging every day to do. The entire time I was on that show, I was struggling with undiagnosed, severe clinical depression and I didn’t know what was going on. That made my job extra hard.

   The most important part of the interview, imho.

2. Steve Burns, like Fred Rodgers, was just genuine and sincere on-screen. It’s unique among children’s television. Intelligent, yet whimsical. It’s a shame such shows aren’t more common.

3. My younger siblings loved Blue Clues, and I developed a massive crush on Steve. I’m delighted he has remained such a kind spirited person.

4. This is amazing, he’s still the same genuine loveable Steve and this feels like we really grew with him
