Richard Burton is one of my heroes.

These last few years, working with Tim Burton, it's been the best time I've ever had.

I want to be in a Tim Burton movie so bad.

I absolutely loved working with Tim Burton because he is just a creative, outside of the box thinker. How he does things is fantastic. It is different - weird different - and he does things that are groundbreaking. They are courageous to do and once you do them you are like, 'Wow! That really does work!'

I had admired Richard Burton for years and years before I had ever worked with him. He was a great, great actor. It was a joy to get to know him as a person.

I've worked with Tim Burton five times, and it's just like being part of a family; life doesn't get much better than that.

When you're talking about Tim Burton, you're talking about a guy that has such a visual sense, an aesthetic, a storytelling style. It's like he's got his own genre.

I'm a gigantic musical film fan.

Tim Burton... as an actor you wait and wish and hope and pray you'll work with him.

Richard Burton is my number one idol. One, because we come from very similar backgrounds and two, because of his fantastic talent.
