More quotes by Jim Henson

Jim Henson
Do the jobs you like least first. It makes each successive job easier.
Jim Henson
Yeah, I did some small parts in high school and the first year of college and then fairly soon thereafter I settled into the backstage scenery, and then at the University of Maryland I was doing posters for their productions.

I think if you study--if you learn too much of what others have done, you may tend to take the same direction as everybody else.

Jim Henson
There's not a word yet, for old friends who've just met.
Jim Henson
Please watch out for each other and love and forgive everybody. It's a good life, enjoy it.

Jim Henson
There was a little afternoon show that was called Afternoon. Back in those days in television, most local stations had a midday show for housewives that had a series of things. It was like a variety show for midday.
Jim Henson
A film is not done by one person. It's done by a lot of people. I love this whole collaborative aspect. When it works well, you end up with something better than any of us started out to do.
Jim Henson
Do everything at 100 percent of its potential and never accept second best.
