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.

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
My name is Jimmy, but my friends just call me the hideous penguin boy.
Tim Burton
I never sort of really regret anything because you make your choices and I like to stand by them.
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.

The Boy with Nails in His Eyes put up his aluminum tree. It looked pretty strange because he couldn't really see.

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
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.

If you want people to leave you alone then appearing to be crazy is a good thing. If you're walking down the street talking to yourself people tend to give you a wide berth!

Tim Burton
I never really consider myself as a great artist. I just always like to draw.
Tim Burton
There's something quite exciting when you have a history with somebody and you see them do new and different things.

People told me I couldn't kill Nicholson, so I cast him in two roles and killed him off twice.
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 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
I like the challenge of doing things you know that you maybe shouldn't do.
Tim Burton
I am not a dark person and I don't consider myself dark.

Unwisely, Santa offered a teddy bear to James, unaware he had been mauled by a grizzly earlier this year.
Tim Burton
I grew up watching monster movies and horror movies, which I felt were like fairy tales and I think this always spoke to me. Something about that is symbolism - the beauty and the magic which helps me work with film and start making modern fairy tales.
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.
