More quotes by Jim Henson
My hope still is to leave the world a bit better than when I got here.
Jim Henson
NBC was trying to convert all of their local programming to color right away to encourage the sale of the sets, so I barely remember working in black and white, although I do know that I did do it, but there was not a major difference, though.
Jim Henson
I guess I was wrong when I said I never promised anyone. I promised me.
Jim Henson
I believe that life is basically a process of growth-that we go through many lives, choosing those situations and problems that we will learn through.
Jim Henson

Jim Henson
I don't want'a die... I have other plans!
Jim Henson
All of a sudden you realise that you are the person who has control of your life.
Jim Henson

Jim Henson
I don't know exactly where ideas come from, but when I'm working well ideas just appear. I've heard other people say similar things - so it's one of the ways I know there's help and guidance out there. It's just a matter of our figuring out how to receive the ideas or information that are waiting to be heard.
Jim Henson
If you take a character and you call him a frog, or like Rowlf, our dog, call him a dog, you immediately give the audience a handle.
Jim Henson
Do the jobs you like least first. It makes each successive job easier.
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
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and it may be necessary from time to time to give a stupid or misinformed beholder a black eye.
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
It all ends in one of two ways: either someone gets eaten or something blows up.
Jim Henson
The beauty of nature has been one of the great inspirations in my life.
Jim Henson
There's not a word yet, for old friends who've just met.
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
