More quotes by 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
We all know interspecies romance is weird.
Tim Burton
I don't look at my films or my old drawings much, so that was an interesting way to kind of reconnect with myself a bit.
Tim Burton
That's what I always loved about [Federico] Fellini's films: You see the weird joy of the weird filmmaking family and the abstract craziness that goes along with it, and there's something about it that's quite beautiful.
Tim Burton
When we were growing up and saw a Ray Harryhausen movie, we were interested in how it was done. But thank God we got to go through the magic of seeing it before we knew how it was done. You were able to get this beautiful, pure, visceral response to something without knowing too much about it.
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 never really consider myself as a great artist. I just always like to draw.
Tim Burton
Most people say about graveyards: Oh, it's just a bunch of dead people. It's creepy. But for me, there's an energy to it that it not creepy, or dark. It has a positive sense to it.
Tim Burton
I always said that I'm not into mass-marketing things. If there's one thing that looks cool, that's fine by me. I'm not interested in a whole bunch of stuff.
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
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
Nobody had his [Ed Wood's] style. That's something I try to do in my films. You have your own kind of cryptic messages in there - cryptic things that most people wouldn't understand but are important to you. Things that kind of keep you going through the process.
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
A lot of things you see as a child remain with you you spend a lot of your life trying to recapture the experience.
Tim Burton
I am not a dark person and I don't consider myself dark.
Tim Burton
When you don’t have many friends and you don’t have a social life you’re kind of left looking at things, not doing things. There’s a weird freedom in not having people treat you like you’re part of society or where you have to fulfill social relationships.
Tim Burton
I always liked strange characters.
Tim Burton
Stick Boy liked Match Girl, He liked her a lot. He liked her cute figure, he thought she was hot. But could a flame ever burn for a match and a stick? It did quite literally he burned up quick.
Tim Burton
My diagnosis, he said for better or worse, is that your son is the result of an old pharaoh's curse.
Tim Burton
A journalist in America told us that we'd [with Johhny Depp] been working together for 10 decades, so we're a lot older than we look! We actually knew each other before the invention of cinema, so we have quite a good, long relationship.
