More quotes by Jim Henson

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 decided that what I really wanted to do was go off and paint.
Jim Henson

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
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
I've never felt any sense of competition with anybody, and we're all friends. We're all good friends.
Jim Henson
If anything, there's a difference in working with color in England and the color in the US.
Jim Henson
There's not a word yet, for old friends who've just met.
Jim Henson
Yeah, I did some small parts in high school and the first year of college and then fairly soon thereafter I settled into the backstage scenery, and then at the University of Maryland I was doing posters for their productions.
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
No, there's not much competition between puppeteers in general because everybody's working their own style.
Jim Henson
There was a little afternoon show that was called Afternoon. Back in those days in television, most local stations had a midday show for housewives that had a series of things. It was like a variety show for midday.
