Famous quotes by Jim Henson:

"Life's like a movie, write your own ending. Keep believing, keep pretending."

"When I was young, my ambition was to be one of the people who made a difference in this world. My hope is to leave the world a little better for having been there."

"My hope still is to leave the world a bit better than when I got here."

"the most profound effect on children of any entertainer of his time."

"We really have a lot of ambitions for this film,"

"This is a great win. That's a Division I school that has three wins we just beat. There's a lot of pride. Our kids played their butts off."

"The Muppets Celebrate Jim Henson."

"Let us use this log cabin as a means of looking back."

"Nobody creates a fad. It just happens. People love going along with the idea of a beautiful pig. It's like a conspiracy."

"The most sophisticated people I know - inside they are all children"

"Actually the copies of characters is something I don't particularly like to talk about in articles but just for your information, most characters there's only one."

"It's into the same bag as E.T. and Yoda, wherein you're trying to create something that people will actually believe, but it's not so much a symbol of the thing, but you're trying to do the thing itself."

"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."

"Yeah, we pretty much had a form and a shape by that time - a style - and I think one of the advantages of not having any relationship to any other puppeteer was that it gave me a reason to put those together myself for the needs of television."

"At the time of Polaroid - and I did a couple of other commercials just before I stopped doing that stuff - at that point I was at the level where they respect you and your opinion and all that sort of thing."

"Yeah, well when I first started working, it was $5 a show; it was probably a little higher by the time I got to my own show, but I remember that they put me under contract at $100 a week, which to me was really an astronomical price."

"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."

"I do remember doing shows strictly in black and white, too, so you're right."

"Somebody like a Piggy or a Kermit, there needs to be several versions and so there will be several of them."

"If you're doing a large, complicated character with radio controls, it might take a number of people several months to make it and if you're talking about a quick little hand puppet, it could be made in 2 days, so there's enormous range there, and no real easy generalities."
