The top 10 most inspiring quotes by Brian Henson
- To anyone who’s trying to be an artist, in any medium, it’s a very odd and lonely and nerve-wracking and scary process when you let anybody see what you’re working on. You have to learn to listen to your instincts. Absorb other people’s advice, opinions, or whatever it may be from the outside world, but at the end of the day, you have to be true to whatever it is that you’re trying to say in that work.
- We are deeply saddened to hear about the passing of Jonathan Hardy. The clever wit and joy he brought to his performance of Rygel was a true gift to the world of Farscape. My sincerest condolences go out to Jonathan’s family and to his many fans around the world.
- First of all, you’re improvising through a puppet, so you’re not always yourself: you’re a cow or you’re a pig or you’re an old woman, you know, whatever puppet you pick, or you’re a demon, you know, whatever you pick up, that’s what you get to be in the scene.
- But if everybody’s trying to stay safe, then you never really create something new and different and surprising.
- In the show, we have recreated two sketches that my dad had, or pieces that my dad had developed. One that he had developed with my mother, one that Frank Oz had developed with my dad. And these are old pieces from the ’50’s and ’60’s, and we’re going to develop more, too.
- And again, we’re kind of trying to be in that place, that’s just so absurd and irreverent and hysterical and it’s something that at our company we’re kind of, we’re so irreverent about everything, we’re sort of irreverent about the establishment, we’re irreverent about civilization, we’re irreverent about philosophy, we’re irreverent about religion.
- And that was always my father’s favorite part about shooting as well. Often my dad would shoot very, very late, he was quite a workaholic, they would do 20, 20-hour shoots and stuff like that.
- And it was a whole lot of fun, and in many ways, what we’ve done with the show is just taken that part of my early memories of visiting my dad, shooting with the Muppets, and taking that and making a show that’s really an expansion of that and presenting a show that’s all that.
- And one of the funnest things was watching what they did before the director called action and after the director called cut. And they’d keep their hands in the puppets, they’d stay in character, and then they’d start goofing around with each other and be off of script, and it would get quite blue.
- There’s an awful lot of scenes where we don’t know what the scene’s going to be about, we ask the audience, pick a place that the scene is happening, pick the relationship, tell us who they are, things like that.
