Jim Henson
When The Muppet Show ended, we all sat around and said, what kind of television show would we like to do. We felt the need these days are for some quality children's programming.
Jim Henson
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
No, there's not much competition between puppeteers in general because everybody's working their own style.
Jim Henson
