Miss Piggy has some sage advice when it comes to conjuring confidence from within.
The film and television icon sat down exclusively with PEOPLE for a recent PEOPLE in 10 interview. During the conversation, Miss Piggy stressed the importance of being your own inner compass — and not worrying about what other people think of you.
“I understand not everybody can have it as easy as moi,” the Muppets Treasure Island star first admitted, then adding: “I would just say, it doesn't matter how the world sees you. It's about how you see you."
"Believe in yourself and allow yourself to make mistakes. It's okay if you do. It's okay if you don't," she continued. "I mean, you know, that's worked for me. I never make mistakes."
The multihyphenate, who recently worked with Sabrina Carpenter and Seth Rogen for 2026’s The Muppet Show, a half-hour 50th anniversary special honoring the iconic series, also dished on her “ideal man” for Carpenter, 26.
“Oh, that's easy. Her ideal man is anyone I don't have my eyes on first,” Missy Piggy told PEOPLE with her signature deadpan delivery.

When asked about the creative process behind the recent special, and specifically her collaboration with both Rogen, 43, and Kermit, Miss Piggy explained, "Okay, let's get this straight. Every good idea was mine, and anything that felt like, ‘Hmm, is that right? Could have been better’ — that was Kermit or Seth."

“Well, of course, there's two dozen roses. The basket of kittens, fresh-squeezed grapefruit juice, low-wattage light bulbs for all the overhead lights, an oil painting of myself to scale and a zen garden. I'm sorry, is that five? Did I just mention five? I lost count,” Miss Piggy told PEOPLE.
As for why she says people should watch her new special? “Well, you got moi," Miss Piggy said.
"You got Sabrina Carpenter. You got Seth Rogen and Maya Rudolph, Kermit. And in that order,” she continued.
