More quotes by Tim Burton
Even if you're doing something that the studio sends you, or something that's based on a book or story, at the end of it all, you try to make whatever it is your own. This is based on my love of horror movies. Everything is based on something, in some way.
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
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
The great thing about visual horror films is there's real potential for strong, beautiful imagery. It's the one genre that really lends itself to creating strong images. And I've always loved that idea of windmills - your mind aimlessly spinning.
Tim Burton
I never really consider myself as a great artist. I just always like to draw.
Tim Burton
You don't know whether chimps are going to kill you or kiss you. They're very open on some levels and much more evil in a certain way.
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
No matter what you go through with the business side or the Hollywood side at the end of it all, when you are there on the set, it is your thing. So it is your own private world and that's great. That's where you have that bubble to create something in.
Tim Burton
I always felt that Hollywood has a way of making you feel outside.
Tim Burton
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
I wouldn't know a good script if it bit me in the face.
Tim Burton
Everything in this room is edible. Even I'm edible. But, that would be called canibalism. It is looked down upon in most societies.
Tim Burton
I wasn't a big comic book reader. I always had trouble knowing which box to read next. I was always reading from the wrong box. I was like, this is a comic book that doesn't make any sense! I think I was reading them all out of sequence.
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
I'm a happy-go-lucky manic-depressive. It does get very deep and dark for me, and it gets scary at times when I feel I can't pull out of it. But I don't consider myself negative-negative. I'm positive-negative.
Tim Burton
Some people get therapy, some people get to make movies.
Tim Burton
I am the shadow on the moon at night/Filling your dreams to the brim with fright.
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
I never sort of really regret anything because you make your choices and I like to stand by them.
Tim Burton
I try not to go back in retrospect and say oh, I shouldn't have done this or shouldn't have done that. You make your decisions and you live by them.
Tim Burton
