When we were growing up and saw a Ray Harryhausen movie, we were interested in how it was done. But thank God we got to go through the magic of seeing it before we knew how it was done. You were able to get this beautiful, pure, visceral response to something without knowing too much about it. – Tim Burton
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. – Tim Burton

Theres something quite exciting when you have a history with somebody and you see them do new and different things. – Tim Burton
The cinema is not an art which films life: the cinema is something between art and life.

Literature and painting both exist as art from the very start; the cinema doesnt. – Jean-Luc Godard
