More quotes by 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
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
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'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
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
But she knows she has a curse on her, a curse she cannot win. For if someone gets too close to her, the pins stick further in.
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
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
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
Adults forget that kids are their own best censors.
Tim Burton
Anybody who knows me knows I would never read a comic book.
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
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
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 wonder why some people see things as weird and some people don't.
Tim Burton
Some people get therapy, some people get to make movies.
Tim Burton
Anybody with artistic ambitions is always trying to reconnect with the way they saw things as a child.
Tim Burton
Johnny Depp is somebody I really love working with because he doesn't care how he looks. He wants to become weird characters and I like that.
Tim Burton
We all know interspecies romance is weird.
Tim Burton
Unwisely, Santa offered a teddy bear to James, unaware he had been mauled by a grizzly earlier this year.
