Minister: Welcome, brother! Do you reject Satan and all his works? Bunny Breckinridge: Sure.

I never sort of really regret anything because you make your choices and I like to stand by them.

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.

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.

I am not a dark person and I don't consider myself dark.

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.

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 always wonder why some people see things as weird and some people don't.

Jack Nicholson is a textbook actor who's very intuitive. He is absolutely brilliant at going as far as you can go, always pushing to the edge, but still making it seem real.

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.

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.

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.

And in that one grey hair I saw my whole life and I said I think I need a hair.

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.

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

You don't know whether chimps are going to kill you or kiss you. They're very open on some levels and much more evil in a certain way.
Tim Burton
Image
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.

Don't worry about how you 'should' draw it. Just draw it the way you see it.

Unwisely, Santa offered a teddy bear to James, unaware he had been mauled by a grizzly earlier this year.
