Tim Burton's quotes

• 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.
• [commenting on the demolition of the Landmark casino in Las Vegas for the film Mars Attacks! (1996)] "It was like watching something die."
• [genres] "I had never really done something that was more of a horror film, and it's funny, because those are the kind of movies that I like probably more than any other genre. The script had images in it that I liked ."
• Anybody who knows me knows I would never read a comic book. And I certainly would never read anything written by Kevin Smith.
• [the approach you have to take in movies] " . . . you always have to feel like it's gonna be the greatest, even if it's a . . . you know . . . piece of crap."
• [Talking about the Batman characters]: "These are some of the wildest characters in comics and yet, they seem the most real to me."
• [About working with Jack Nicholson on Batman (1989)] "By the time Jack walks onto the set, he feels very clear and strong about the character. So when you're shooting it's great, because that's when you toy around with the levels of how broad to go."
• I'll always remember this image of being in line to see When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth (1970), and all the younger kids were like, 'Dinosaurs are so cool!' and all the older kids were like, 'Oh, man, I hear there's this really hot babe in this movie!'
• [on picking screenplays] I wouldn't know a good script if it bit me in the face.
• 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.
• I always liked strange characters.
• [on Batman Begins (2005)] "I saw a tape of it. It was very touching. Very good."
• If you've ever had that feeling of loneliness, of being an outsider, it never quite leaves you. You can be happy or successful or whatever, but that thing still stays within you.
• [on living in England] I love the weather more than in California. I am serious! You know, you can go for a walk in any kind of weather. In Los Angeles you immediately arouse suspicion when you're out without a car.
• (on Johnny Depp) Johnny's always wanting to sort of hide behind a character, become a character. I've always loved great character actors.
• [After being asked what Batman Returns (1992) will be about.] Havent you heard? There is no plot.
• One person's craziness is another person's reality.
• Big Fish is about what's real and what's fantastic, what's true and what's not true, what's partially true and how, in the end, it's all true.
