I always liked strange characters.
Tim Burton
Image
I think a lot of kids feel alone and slightly isolated and in their own world.
Tim Burton
Image
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.
Tim Burton

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.

Image
Don't worry about how you 'should' draw it. Just draw it the way you see it.
Tim Burton
Image
Once you get labeled, there's nothing you can do about it.

When you don’t have many friends and you don’t have a social life you’re kind of left looking at things, not doing things. There’s a weird freedom in not having people treat you like you’re part of society or where you have to fulfill social relationships.

Son, are you happy? I don't mean to pry, but do you dream of Heaven? Have you ever wanted to die?
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.

That's what I always loved about [Federico] Fellini's films: You see the weird joy of the weird filmmaking family and the abstract craziness that goes along with it, and there's something about it that's quite beautiful.
Tim Burton
Image
I was never interested in what everybody else was interested in. I was very interiorized. I always felt kind of sad.
Tim Burton
Image
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
Image
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.

Mayor: How horrible our Christmas will be! Jack Skellington: *No.* [the Mayor switches to his upset face] Jack Skellington: How *jolly*! Mayor: Oh. How *jolly* our Christmas will be.

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.

Everything in this room is edible. Even I'm edible. But, that would be called canibalism. It is looked down upon in most societies.
Tim Burton
Image
There's something quite exciting when you have a history with somebody and you see them do new and different things.

We all know interspecies romance is weird.
Tim Burton
Image
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.

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.
