Tim Burton Quotes

1. I have a problem when people say something's real or not real, or normal or abnormal. The meaning of those words for me is very personal and subjective. I've always been confused and never had a clearcut understanding of the meaning of those kinds of words.


2. One person's craziness is another person's reality.

3. Movies are like an expensive form of therapy for me.




4. People told me I couldn't kill Nicholson, so I cast him in two roles and killed him off twice.

5. Anybody who knows me knows I would never read a comic book.

6. 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.



7. I always liked strange characters.

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

9. I never really got nightmares from movies. In fact, I recall my father saying when I was three years old that I would be scared, but I never was.

10. I wouldn't know a good script if it bit me in the face.

11. I don't know what it was, maybe the movie theaters in my immediate surrounding neighborhood in Burbank, but I never saw what would be considered A movies.

12. 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.


13. It's good as an artist to always remember to see things in a new, weird way.

14. If I had a choice about going to a meeting at a studio or changing a nappy, I'd choose the nappy.

15. 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.

16. There's something quite exciting when you have a history with somebody and you see them do new and different things.

17. When I was growing up, Dr. Seuss was really my favorite. There was something about the lyrical nature and the simplicity of his work that really hit me.


18. I've always been more comfortable making my decisions from the subconscious level, or more emotionally, because I find it is more truthful to me, Intellectually, I don't think like that because I get uncomfortable. I'm more wary of my intellectual mind, of becoming delusional if I think of it too much.

19. We all know interspecies romance is weird.

20. It wouldn't be so bad, you know?…It's pretty snazzy.

21. People might say "oh it's too dark and scary" for children but you could say that about "Nightmare before Christmas" also. People say their dog even liked watching: "Nightmare Before Christmas". So this is for animals, children, whoever.

22. It's two thirds cheaper than other animated films. As animated films go this is low budget.

23. It seemed right for this particular type of (stop-motion) animation. It's like casting; you want to marry the medium with the material.








24. (on Johnny Depp) Each time I've worked with Johnny, he's something different. He's interested in being a character and not necessarily interested in his persona, and I find it very exciting to work with actors like that. He's really willing to take risks that don't have to do with image or money. And each time is just different and better. It's great to find people like that you can communicate with on an almost subconscious level.

25. It's funny, because "Nightmare" wasn't a real success when it came out…

26. I happened to be listening to David Bowie's "Heroes"…That, and a colleague in Austria was teaching heroism to Americans - how we spend lots of time discussing heroism.

27. There's just something visceral about moving a puppet frame by frame. There's a magical quality about it. Maybe you can get smoother animation with computers, but there's a dimension and emotional quality to this kind of animation that fits these characters and this story.

28. There's a roughness and a surprising nature to most B movies that you don't get in classic films - something more immediate. I never chose those movies to leave impressions in my brain, they just did.



29. Visions are worth fighting for. Why spend your life making someone else's dreams?

30. 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.

31. Certain things leave you in your life and certain things stay with you. And that's why we're all interested in movies - those ones that make you feel, you still think about. Because it gave you such an emotional response, it's actually part of your emotional make-up, in a way.

32. Half the fun is plan to plan.





33. I was never interested in what everybody else was interested in. I was very interiorized. I always felt kind of sad.

34. (commenting on the demolition of the Landmark casino in Las Vegas for the film "Mars Attacks!") It was like watching something die.

35. 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.


36. I remember when I was younger, I had these two windows in my room, nice windows that looked out onto the lawn, and for some reason my parents walled them up and gave me this little slit window that I had to climb up on a desk to see out of. To this day I never asked them why; I should ask them.

37. I think the atmosphere that I grew up in, yes, there was a subtext of normalcy. I don't even know what the word means, but it's stuck in my brain. It's weird. I don't know if it's specifically American, or American in the time I grew up, but there's a very strong sense of categorization and conformity. 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 you're living in.

38. (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.





39. (Talking about the Batman characters) These are some of the wildest characters in comics and yet, they seem the most real to me.

40. (About working with Jack Nicholson on "Batman") 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.





41. I'll always remember this image of being in line to see "When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth", 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!"

42. (on WB's lame suggestions for "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory") They thought the Charlie character should be more proactive and that Wonka should be more of a father figure, and I'm sitting there thinking: "Willy Wonka is NOT a father figure! If that's your idea of a father figure, yikes. Willy Wonka's a weirdo." 

43. (on the stress of delivering a summer movie in an era when release dates are often set by studios before a script is finished) It's like you're a runner and they beat the shit out of you and break your legs right before you're supposed to race, and then they say: "Now go win the race."



44. (on cult director Edward D. Wood Jr.) Nobody had his 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.

45. (on style) I remember, I was at Cal Arts and I wasn't a good life-drawer; I struggled with that realistic style of drawing. And one day I was sitting in Farmer's Market sketching, and it was this weird, mind-blowing experience. I said: "Goddamit, I don't care if I can't draw, I'm just gonna draw how I feel about it." All of a sudden I had my own personal breakthrough, and then I could draw, and satisfied myself. I've had very few experiences like that, and I'll never forget it.

46. 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. The fact that Disney closed down its cel animation division is frightening to me. Someday soon, somebody will come along and do a drawn-animated film, and it'll be beautiful and connect with people, and they'll all go: "Oh, we've got to do that!" It's ridiculous.

47. (Becoming a movie director) There was one moment, and it happened in school. I had a big final exam - we were supposed to write a 20-page report on this book about Houdini (Harry Houdini). I probably would have loved reading it, but I didn't, so I just decided to make a little super-8 movie based on it. I tied myself to the railroad tracks and all that. I mean, this is kid stuff, but it impressed the teacher, and I got an A. And that was maybe my first turning point, when I said: "Yeah, I wouldn't mind being a filmmaker."

48. It is unfortunate that Disney closed down its drawn-animation unit. I find it quite upsetting, because they made a few drawn movies that weren't successful and they went: "Well, that is dead, so we have to go to computers." They forget that the reason that they have been successful is because Pixar (whose films Disney distributes) makes good movies. Success is the real reason people try to copy things in Hollywood. Someday someone will do a beautiful cell- animation film that connects with people and then someone will say: "We have to go and do that again." The number-one priority should be that the story and the medium are compatible.

49. I grew up watching things like "The Brain That Wouldn't Die" on Saturday afternoon television. There's a guy with his arm ripped off and blood smeared all over the wall. I never saw it as negative. I find that stuff, when it's not rooted in reality, to be cathartic.

50. I've always loved the idea of fairy tales, but somehow I never managed to completely connect with them. What interests me is taking those classic images and themes and trying to contemporize them a bit. I believe folk tales and fairy tales have some sort of psychological foundation that makes that possible.

51. (on "Batman Begins") I saw a tape of it. It was very touching. Very good.

52. 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.

53. All these kinds of stories, whether it be "The Wizard of Oz" or "Alice in Wonderland", are an internal journey. I think that's a fairly universal concept. These characters represent things inside the human psyche. I think that's what every child does. You try to work out problems as you go along. Same thing as an adult. Some people get therapy, some people get to make movies.

54. (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.

55. (on Michelle Pfeiffer as Selina Kyle/Catwoman in "Batman Returns") I don't really go back and look at the movies but her performance in that was one of my favorite performances of anything by anyone in any movie that I've worked on. It was just the best. Really, I'll never forget her in that…I just have all these memories of her - letting a live bird fly out of her mouth and learning to use the whip and jumping around rooftop sets in high heels. The work and just the performance were very, very impressive.

Ethan Hawke Channels Billy Idol In New Film "Clive"

Ethan Hawke, 42, showed off his newly-dyed white blonde hair for the first time as he appeared at the "Opening Night Party" for the New Group World Premiere production of "Clive" at the West Bank Cafe in New York on Thursday night.





Ethan looked barely recognisable and channelled Billy Idol as he posed up at the event, with his blonde hair spiked up with gel.

The event marks the first time Ethan has displayed his new makeover in all its glory, as he has been seen sporting a hat over the past few weeks.




Hawke completed his grungy look by wearing a slick of black eyeliner, adding to his eccentric appearance.

However, instead of just going for a completely new look, Ethan's makeover is for his portrayal in new play "Clive", which he directs.


Speaking about the change in his image, Ethan revealed to the New York Times: "I didn't want to feel like me when I did this role".

"I'm trying to do that old-school, third-person thing by unlocking something as utterly superficial as my hair," Hawke continued.

"I was shooting for a Bowie thing, but then I saw a picture of him after I did it, and he didn't really do his hair like this." Hawke added.

 

The production, written by Jonathan Marc Sherman, tells the tale of lavish rocker on the decline. Charting the songwriter's life from his hedonistic heights of seduction and consumption into an ecstasy of self-destruction, the show was inspired by Bertolt Brecht's 1923 play "Baal."

It has to be noted that the play is set in New York City and features music by Gaines and costume design by Catherine Zuber. Other actors in "Clive" include Stephanie Janssen, Mahira Kakkar, Aaron Krohn and Dana Lyn.

Al Pacino Speech

Please feel free to check out below the full transcript of Al Pacino's famous "Inch by Inch" speech in the movie "Any Given Sunday".


I don't know what to say really.
Three minutes
to the biggest battle of our professional lives
all comes down to today.
Either
we heal
as a team
or we are going to crumble.
Inch by inch
play by play
till we're finished.

We are in hell right now, gentlemen
believe me
and
we can stay here
and get the shit kicked out of us
or
we can fight our way
back into the light.
We can climb out of hell.
One inch, at a time.

Now I can't do it for you.
I'm too old.
I look around and I see these young faces
and I think
I mean
I made every wrong choice a middle age man could make.
I uh...
I pissed away all my money
believe it or not.
I chased off
anyone who has ever loved me.
And lately,
I can't even stand the face I see in the mirror.

You know when you get old in life
things get taken from you.
That's, that's part of life.
But,
you only learn that when you start losing stuff.
You find out that life is just a game of inches.
So is football.
Because in either game
life or football
the margin for error is so small.
I mean
one half step too late or to early
you don't quite make it.
One half second too slow or too fast
and you don't quite catch it.
The inches we need are everywhere around us.
They are in ever break of the game
every minute, every second.

On this team, we fight for that inch
On this team, we tear ourselves, and everyone around us
to pieces for that inch.
We CLAW with our finger nails for that inch.
Cause we know
when we add up all those inches
that's going to make the fucking difference
between WINNING and LOSING
between LIVING and DYING.

I'll tell you this
in any fight
it is the guy who is willing to die
who is going to win that inch.
And I know
if I am going to have any life anymore
it is because, I am still willing to fight, and die for that inch
because that is what LIVING is.
The six inches in front of your face.

Now I can't make you do it.
You gotta look at the guy next to you.
Look into his eyes.
Now I think you are going to see a guy who will go that inch with you.
You are going to see a guy
who will sacrifice himself for this team
because he knows when it comes down to it,
you are gonna do the same thing for him.

That's a team, gentlemen
and either we heal now, as a team,
or we will die as individuals.
That's football guys.
That's all it is.
Now, whattaya gonna do?

Matt Damon On Kissing Michael Douglas: "He Is A Wonderful Kisser!"

It appears Michael Douglas has a new admirer: Matt Damon!





Damon portrays Douglas' young lover in the upcoming HBO Liberace biopic: "Behind the Candelabra", but instead of being deterred by the many same sex lip locking scenes, Damon is excited about them.

"Michael was a wonderful kisser," Matt revealed to Playboy magazine's January/February issue. "My concerns ended up mattering a lot less once we were filming."



To be more exact, Damon claimed he was determined to make the sexy scenes as realistic as possible.

"We both have a lot of gay friends and we were not going to screw this up or bullsh*t it," Damon was quoted as saying. "It wasn't the most natural thing in the world to do though. Like for one scene I had to come out of the pool, go over to Michael, straddle him on a chaise lounge and start kissing him. We drew it up like a football plan."

The steamy scene isn't just the only one in the movie and Damon is very well aware the film won't be to everyone's taste.




"Well, normally I'd say no to nudity," Matt explained. "But I just did a lot of it playing the long term partner of Liberace, Scott Thorson, in Behind the Candelabra. I mean it's tastefully done.

"Steven Soderbergh directed it and Michael Douglas plays Liberace. But this movie's not going to be for everyone…There's stuff I think will make people uncomfortable. Great. It's HBO - they can change the channel," Damon continued.

As for his wife Luciana, Damon admits there's plenty of romance.

"This is the first relationship I've had that wasn't like work to be in. There's always stuff you can work on, of course, but being married and having kids for me, there's a lot of romance, but it's a much bigger endeavor with a lot of nuts and bolts problem solving you have to do together. It's like building a company. I wish I were better because my wife deserves someone who surprises her with a gift or flowers or some wonderful idea. I've never been good at that, and she's really good at it, which makes me feel even more like s**t," Damon stated.


Are you looking forward to watching Matt Damon and Michael Douglas in such a different kind of movie??

His outfit with the big red "S", that's the blanket he was wrapped in as a baby when the Kents found him. Those are his clothes. What Kent wears - the glasses, the business suit - that's the costume. That's the costume Superman wears to blend in with us. Clark Kent is how Superman views us. And what are the characteristics of Clark Kent. He's weak…he's unsure of himself…he's a coward.

66. I hope to give you at least 15 more years of movies. I'm not going to be this old guy that keeps cranking them out.

67. I've had people write that I've seen too many movies. In what other art form would being an expert be considered a negative? If I were a poet, would I be criticized for knowing too much about Sappho? Or Aristotle?

68. I'm not James Cameron and I could never think like that - I don't think he could think like me either - but if I could go into a time machine and think like that and be able to do what he could do, that would be great. (on Avatar)

69. Watch the movie closely, and you'll see how personal it is. Here's a film in which cinema brings down the Nazi regime, metaphorically and literally. What could possibly be better than that?
