Jim Henson
Please watch out for each other and love and forgive everybody. It's a good life, enjoy it.
Jim Henson
If you care about what you do and work hard at it, there isn't anything you can't do if you want to.
Jim Henson
I guess I was wrong when I said I never promised anyone. I promised me.

The attitude you have as a parent is what your kids will learn from more than what you tell them. They don't remember what you try to teach them. They remember what you are.
Jim Henson
Watch out for each other. Love everyone and forgive everyone, including yourself. Forgive your anger. Forgive your guilt. Your shame. Your sadness. Embrace and open up your love, your joy, your truth, and most especially your heart.
Jim Henson
It all ends in one of two ways: either someone gets eaten or something blows up.
Jim Henson

Jim Henson
Follow your enthusiasm. It's something I've always believed in. Find those parts of your life you enjoy the most. Do what you enjoy doing.
Jim Henson
Do everything at 100 percent of its potential and never accept second best.
Jim Henson
Somebody like a Piggy or a Kermit, there needs to be several versions and so there will be several of them.
Jim Henson
Music is an essential part of everything we do. Like puppetry, music has an abstract quality which speaks to a worldwide audience in a wonderful way that nourishes the soul.
Jim Henson
My hope still is to leave the world a bit better than when I got here.
Jim Henson
All of a sudden you realise that you are the person who has control of your life.
Jim Henson
No, there's not much competition between puppeteers in general because everybody's working their own style.
Jim Henson
We thought it would be fun to try to design a show that would work well internationally and so that' s what we're intending to do with Fraggle Rock, and we are indeed now selling it around the world.
Jim Henson
