surprising knows
It's great when you know somebody and they keep surprising you.
technology thinking artist
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.
america long together
A journalist in America told us that we'd [with Johhny Depp] been working together for 10 decades, so we're a lot older than we look! We actually knew each other before the invention of cinema, so we have quite a good, long relationship.
saws would-be theater
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.
movie gambling actors
Movies are like an expensive form of therapy for me.
art treated
I always treated the science thing and the art thing as quite similar thematically.
father years would-be
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.
eye boys tree
The Boy with Nails in His Eyes put up his aluminum tree. It looked pretty strange because he couldn't really see.
growing-up simplicity drs
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.
romance weirdness biology
We all know interspecies romance is weird.
dark laughing people
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.
people therapy
Some people get therapy, some people get to make movies.
character strange
I always liked strange characters.
people style trying
Nobody had his [Ed Wood's] 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.
