When I was a kid, I never saw a puppet show. I never played with puppets or had any interest in them.
Jim HensonNo, there's not much competition between puppeteers in general because everybody's working their own style.
Jim HensonMusic is an essential part of everything we do. Like puppetry, music has an abstract quality which speaks to a worldwide audience in a wonderful way that nourishes the soul.
Jim HensonI really do believe that all of you are at the beginning of a wonderful journey.As you start traveling down that road of life, remember this: There are never enough comfort stops. The places you're going to are never on the map. And once you get that map out, you won't be able to re-fold it no matter how smart you are. So forget the map, roll down the windows, and whenever you can pull over and have picnic with a pig. And if you can help it never fly as cargo.
