Maybe it's just in America, but it seems that if you're passionate about something, it freaks people out. You're considered bizarre or eccentric. To me, it just means you know who you are.

Tim Burton
I always said that I'm not into mass-marketing things. If there's one thing that looks cool, that's fine by me. I'm not interested in a whole bunch of stuff.
Tim Burton
Adults forget that kids are their own best censors.
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
I have no idea what happens, but I do respond to other cultures that treat life with a much more positive approach. It teaches - especially when you're a child - it teaches you to be afraid of everything, you feel like something bad is always going to happen. As to where that other way seems a much more spiritual and positive approach.
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
I wouldn't know a good script if it bit me in the face.
Tim Burton
And in that one grey hair I saw my whole life and I said I think I need a hair.
Tim Burton
I never sort of really regret anything because you make your choices and I like to stand by them.
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'm gonna go live in a cave, just completely live in my interior world.
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 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.
Tim Burton
I always wonder why some people see things as weird and some people don't.
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
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
It's like getting into film - I didn't say early on, 'I'm going to become a filmmaker,' 'I'm going to show my work at MoMA.' When you start to think those things, you're in trouble.
