Jim Henson
Only time can heal your broken heart. Just as only time can heal his broken arms and legs.
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
Through dangers untold and hardships unnumbered I have fought my way here to the castle beyond the Goblin City to take back the child you have stolen, for my will is as strong as yours and my kingdom as great. You have no power over me!
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
There's not a word yet, for old friends who've just met.
