In a Tim Burton movie, you know it's going to be something unusual, or a bit mad. Something "other."

Everyone wants to work in America. Maybe not blockbusters or Terminator, but to have the choice.

I want to travel. Maybe I'll end up living in Norway, making cakes.

I like characters who have strong facades and then have secrets. They have cracks.

I am a dreamer. Seriously, I'm living on another planet.

I have my own style and don't really follow fashion, but I like leggings. They're easy to wear and can go with anything.

Don't be ashamed of who you are, embrace who you are.

I need to fall in love with someone. Sorry - I mean fall in love with something. I need to wake myself up.

I'm not really involved with politics... I'm living in my cocoon with my classical music around.

I don't believe in awards. It's very good for the ego, I suppose.

I have Algerian, Turkish, Swedish, Spanish blood: I feel like a citizen of the world. Life and cinema don't have borders.

Nothing's as changeable as a person's heart. Take hope and a warning from that.

Does the devil know he is a devil?

Don't go to sleep, so many people die there.

If you are a guillotine producer, watch out your head; because wickedness is a boomerang.

I was in a convenience store, reading a magazine. The clerk told me, "this is not a library!" "OK! I will talk louder, then!"

I never had any interest in sitcoms or motion pictures or anything like that.

When you're teenager, your hormones and your emotions are so tumultuous and so unpredictable. You're just trying to understand yourself.

I pick up my pen. It flows. A building appears. There it is. There is nothing more to say.

New beginnings and new shoots Spring again from hidden roots Pull or stab or cut or burn, Love must ever yet return.

If there be no enemy there's no fight. If no fight, no victory and if no victory there is no crown.
