More quotes by Tim Burton
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.
Tim Burton
Son, are you happy? I don't mean to pry, but do you dream of Heaven? Have you ever wanted to die?
Tim Burton
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
A journalist in America told us that we'd [with Johhny Depp] been working together for 10 decades, so we're a lot older than we look! We actually knew each other before the invention of cinema, so we have quite a good, long relationship.
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
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.
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
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
I get so tired of people saying, 'Oh, you only make fantasy films and this and that', and I'm like, 'Well no, fantasy is reality', that's what Lewis Carroll showed in his work.
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
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
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
Anybody with artistic ambitions is always trying to reconnect with the way they saw things as a child.
Tim Burton
I wouldn't know a good script if it bit me in the face.
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
The good thing about animation is that you can affect it. If something is not working, then you just fix it.
Tim Burton
My name is Jimmy, but my friends just call me the hideous penguin boy.
Tim Burton
We all know interspecies romance is weird.
Tim Burton
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.
Tim Burton
People told me I couldn't kill Nicholson, so I cast him in two roles and killed him off twice.
