Jim Henson

Jim Henson
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
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
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
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
