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.

More quotes by 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
I did some sports. It was a bit frustrating. I wasn't the greatest sports person.
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've always been misrepresented. You know, I could dress in a clown costume and laugh with the happy people but they'd still say I'm a dark personality.
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
Minister: Welcome, brother! Do you reject Satan and all his works? Bunny Breckinridge: Sure.
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
One of the things that we were trying to do with this show was the complexities of relationships and love. There is both passion and longing and a bittersweet quality to it that is a part of life.
Tim Burton
Anybody with artistic ambitions is always trying to reconnect with the way they saw things as a child.
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
People told me I couldn't kill Nicholson, so I cast him in two roles and killed him off twice.
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
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
Things that I grew up with stay with me. You start a certain way, and then you spend your whole life trying to find a certain simplicity that you had. It's less about staying in childhood than keeping a certain spirit of seeing things in a different way.
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
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 try not to go back in retrospect and say oh, I shouldn't have done this or shouldn't have done that. You make your decisions and you live by them.
Tim Burton
I like the challenge of doing things you know that you maybe shouldn't do.
Tim Burton
I wouldn't know a good script if it bit me in the face.
