No, I can never rely on Tim to make me pretty.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I didn't consider myself to be pretty, not at all.
In this movie, you have all the things you love from Tim. All the magic and the whimsy and the surreal, but he also has a fantastic story of a father and son that really gets under your skin.
Nobody has ever said to me that I was pretty, 'til I met Peter Beard.
Tiny Tim? Anyone could sing like that. It's atrocious. It's hideous, really.
What Tim does is, he calls me and sends me the script. And then he sends me a drawing, an illustration of his image of me as the character. It's so great.
Every generation gets the Tiny Tim it deserves.
It is well known that Beauty does not look with a good grace on the timid advances of Humour.
Of course, people told me, 'Mikey, you will never be an actor. You don't have the look. You're ugly.'
Tim also has enough confidence so that it always looks like a Tim Burton film, but it really is collaborative. You're allowed to do it your way but of course he's always going to choose his way.
I think that one of Tim's great qualities and abilities is in what seems like a thumbnail sketch to get something quite telling, very simply, when you're doing it or being in that thumbnail sketch, you don't feel that it's important.
