Kermit’s Great
Leap Forward

In this edition, Small Screens Editor Aimee Knight speaks to Kermit about his secrets for staying young, his advice on how to create harmony in
a chaotic world, and why it’s a little bit easier being green these days.

“A lot of Smile is about growing through that pain. And now, obviously, I’m hopeful [about the new record], but I think I’m not putting everything of my worth into this basket,” she tells The Big Issue. “I think that this journey is about getting my smile back and getting my playfulness back and getting that purity back.”
