I never saw Frankenstein or King Kong or the Creature from the Black Lagoon as bad guys. They were the good guys.
From Tim Burton
I wouldn't know a good script if it bit me in the face.
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.
There's something about seeing this little inanimate object coming to life that's just very exciting. That's why with 'Nightmare' I held out for so long to do it.
If I'd said, 'I'm going to be a director,' it probably wouldn't have happened.
When you're making a movie, it's a very interiorised world.
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.
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 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.
I don't know what it was, maybe the movie theaters in my immediate surrounding neighbourhood in Burbank, but I never saw what would be considered A movies.
