It's like getting into film - I didn't say early on, 'I'm going to become a filmmaker,' 'I'm going to show my work at MoMA.' When you start to think those things, you're in trouble.

More quotes by Tim Burton
Visions are worth fighting for. Why spend your life making someone else's dreams?
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
There's something about taking a classic movie that people love and doing another version of that, you're setting yourself up for a mistake.
Tim Burton
I grew up watching monster movies and horror movies, which I felt were like fairy tales and I think this always spoke to me. Something about that is symbolism - the beauty and the magic which helps me work with film and start making modern fairy tales.
Tim Burton
Son, are you happy? I don't mean to pry, but do you dream of Heaven? Have you ever wanted to die?
Tim Burton
I never sort of really regret anything because you make your choices and I like to stand by them.
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
I am the shadow on the moon at night/Filling your dreams to the brim with fright.
Tim Burton
Minister: Welcome, brother! Do you reject Satan and all his works? Bunny Breckinridge: Sure.
Tim Burton
I like the challenge of doing things you know that you maybe shouldn't do.
Tim Burton
When it comes to art and science, people don't like a lot of either. Instead of being open to it, they're closed off about it.
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
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
One person's craziness is another person's reality.
Tim Burton
Anybody who knows me knows I would never read a comic book.
Tim Burton
I always treated the science thing and the art thing as quite similar thematically.
Tim Burton
I did some sports. It was a bit frustrating. I wasn't the greatest sports person.
Tim Burton
I wouldn't know a good script if it bit me in the face.
Tim Burton
My name is Jimmy, but my friends just call me the hideous penguin boy.
Tim Burton
I'm gonna go live in a cave, just completely live in my interior world.
