More quotes by Tim Burton
Johnny Depp is somebody I really love working with because he doesn't care how he looks. He wants to become weird characters and I like that.
Tim Burton
Things that I grew up with stay with me. You start a certain way, and then you spend your whole life trying to find a certain simplicity that you had. It's less about staying in childhood than keeping a certain spirit of seeing things in a different way.
Tim Burton
One of the things that we were trying to do with this show was the complexities of relationships and love. There is both passion and longing and a bittersweet quality to it that is a part of life.
Tim Burton
It's hard to find logic in things sometimes. That's why I can't analyze things too much, because it often doesn't make much sense.
Tim Burton
I think of Ray Harryhausen's work - I knew his name before I knew any actor or director's names. His films had an impact on me very early on, probably even more than Disney. I think that's what made me interested in animation: His work.
Tim Burton
3D is great, but I just think of it as another tool, like colour or music or sound. It has the potential to add another emotional layer to certain things if you use it right. But it's not the saviour [of the movies], the be all and end all, the reason to do something.
Tim Burton
I have no idea what happens, but I do respond to other cultures that treat life with a much more positive approach. It teaches - especially when you're a child - it teaches you to be afraid of everything, you feel like something bad is always going to happen. As to where that other way seems a much more spiritual and positive approach.
Tim Burton
People always think I get really good reviews, but I don't. That's why I don't go on the Internet much - because you can go down a dark hole looking at stuff. Once, I clicked on my name and freaked out. It's too bizarre, it's too weird, it's too unsettling.
Tim Burton
Adults forget that kids are their own best censors.
Tim Burton
I am the shadow on the moon at night/Filling your dreams to the brim with fright.
Tim Burton
One person's craziness is another person's reality.
Tim Burton
People told me I couldn't kill Nicholson, so I cast him in two roles and killed him off twice.
Tim Burton
I don't know what it was, maybe the movie theaters in my immediate surrounding neighbourhood in Burbank, but I never saw what would be considered A movies.
Tim Burton
I have a problem when people say something's real or not real, or normal or abnormal. The meaning of those words for me is very personal and subjective. I've always been confused and never had a clearcut understanding of the meaning of those kinds of words.
Tim Burton
When I was a kid I always wanted to be a mad scientist. I don't know... a regular scientist just was no one.
Tim Burton
The good thing about animation is that you can affect it. If something is not working, then you just fix it.
Tim Burton
I think the thing is that you're very affected by your early life, and I think that if you ever had that feeling of outsider, or loneliness or whatever, it just doesn't leave you. You can be happy and successful, whatever, but I think that thing stays inside of you. It doesn't ever really leave you. You kind of always will have that.
Tim Burton
I wouldn't know a good script if it bit me in the face.
Tim Burton
I never really consider myself as a great artist. I just always like to draw.
Tim Burton
Anybody with artistic ambitions is always trying to reconnect with the way they saw things as a child.
Tim Burton
