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.

When I was a kid I always wanted to be a mad scientist. I don't know... a regular scientist just was no one.
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.

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.

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
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
I always felt that Hollywood has a way of making you feel outside.
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 don't know what it was, maybe the movie theaters in my immediate surrounding neighbourhood in Burbank, but I never saw what would be considered A movies.
Tim Burton
Visions are worth fighting for. Why spend your life making someone else's dreams?
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
And in that one grey hair I saw my whole life and I said I think I need a hair.
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
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 was never interested in what everybody else was interested in. I was very interiorized. I always felt kind of sad.
