More quotes by 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
It's very nice to have someone that you can have a completely abstract conversation with and leave the room, feel like everything's fine, and then realize that if you pick it apart, you have absolutely no idea what either of you said.
Tim Burton
I did some sports. It was a bit frustrating. I wasn't the greatest sports person.

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.

Tim Burton
Anybody with artistic ambitions is always trying to reconnect with the way they saw things as a child.
Tim Burton
My name is Jimmy, but my friends just call me the hideous penguin boy.
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
Unwisely, Santa offered a teddy bear to James, unaware he had been mauled by a grizzly earlier this year.
Tim Burton
I'm gonna go live in a cave, just completely live in my interior world.
Tim Burton
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.
Tim Burton
Some people get therapy, some people get to make movies.
Tim Burton
And in that one grey hair I saw my whole life and I said I think I need a hair.
Tim Burton
People told me I couldn't kill Nicholson, so I cast him in two roles and killed him off twice.
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
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.
