"I've found that the people who play villains are the nicest people in the world, and people who play..." — Tim Burton

When you're making a movie, it's a very interiorised world.

I keep thinking I'm going to miss it back in Los Angeles. But I don't. The only thing I miss is driving out in the desert in the Southwest.

If I'd said, 'I'm going to be a director,' it probably wouldn't have happened.

It's people who you've seen that have given you a lot. In some ways, I felt they helped me psychologically because you see these people up on the screen going through torment and being on the outside, and somehow you relate to them, and it helps you get through life. It's a real honour and pleasure to then meet these people.
