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
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
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
Anybody with artistic ambitions is always trying to reconnect with the way they saw things as a child.

Mayor: How horrible our Christmas will be! Jack Skellington: *No.* [the Mayor switches to his upset face] Jack Skellington: How *jolly*! Mayor: Oh. How *jolly* our Christmas will be.
Tim Burton
Maybe it's just in America, but it seems that if you're passionate about something, it freaks people out. You're considered bizarre or eccentric. To me, it just means you know who you are.
Tim Burton
I'm gonna go live in a cave, just completely live in my interior world.
Tim Burton
It's very nice to have someone that you can have a completely abstract conversation with and leave the room, feel like everything's fine, and then realize that if you pick it apart, you have absolutely no idea what either of you said.
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 never really got nightmares from movies. In fact, I recall my father saying when I was three years old that I would be scared, but I never was.
Tim Burton
There's something quite exciting when you have a history with somebody and you see them do new and different things.
