More quotes by 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
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
Don't worry about how you 'should' draw it. Just draw it the way you see it.
Tim Burton
I never sort of really regret anything because you make your choices and I like to stand by them.
Tim Burton
One person's craziness is another person's reality.
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
I remember being forced to go to Sunday school for a number of years, even though my parents were not religious. No one was really religious it was just the framework. There was no passion for it. No passion for anything. Just a quiet, kind of floaty, kind of semi-oppressive, blank palette that youre living in.
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 wouldn't know a good script if it bit me in the face.
Tim Burton
Once you get labeled, there's nothing you can do about it.
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
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 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
The good thing about animation is that you can affect it. If something is not working, then you just fix it.
Tim Burton
I was never interested in what everybody else was interested in. I was very interiorized. I always felt kind of sad.
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
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
There's something quite exciting when you have a history with somebody and you see them do new and different things.
