The good thing about animation is that you can affect it. If something is not working, then you just fix it.

Image
I always felt that Hollywood has a way of making you feel outside.
Tim Burton
Image
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.

Once you get labeled, there's nothing you can do about it.
Tim Burton
Image
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
Image
There's something about taking a classic movie that people love and doing another version of that, you're setting yourself up for a mistake.
Tim Burton
Image
I never sort of really regret anything because you make your choices and I like to stand by them.

My name is Jimmy, but my friends just call me the hideous penguin boy.

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.

In Hollywood, they think drawn animation doesn't work anymore, computers are the way. They forget that the reason computers are the way is that Pixar makes good movies. So everybody tries to copy Pixar. They're relying too much on the technology and not enough on the artists.

I am the shadow on the moon at night/Filling your dreams to the brim with fright.
Tim Burton

People always think I get really good reviews, but I don't. That's why I don't go on the Internet much - because you can go down a dark hole looking at stuff. Once, I clicked on my name and freaked out. It's too bizarre, it's too weird, it's too unsettling.

When we were growing up and saw a Ray Harryhausen movie, we were interested in how it was done. But thank God we got to go through the magic of seeing it before we knew how it was done. You were able to get this beautiful, pure, visceral response to something without knowing too much about it.

I wouldn't know a good script if it bit me in the face.
Tim Burton
Image
People told me I couldn't kill Nicholson, so I cast him in two roles and killed him off twice.
Tim Burton
Image
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 always treated the science thing and the art thing as quite similar thematically.

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.

Some people get therapy, some people get to make movies.

I always liked strange characters.
