“It’s like she’s on wheels, and her hands begin talking before she does. In a way, her hands have their own personality. There is a part of it that’s really subtle and a part of it that’s really out there. It’s like Glinda the Good Witch on some sort of hallucinogen.”
- Johnny Depp

- The Red Queen
(Alice in Wonderland 2010)

“In any fairy tale land there is good and bad. What I liked about Wonderland is that everything is slightly off, even the good people. That, to me, is something different. It’s so much a part of the culture. So whether you’ve read the story or not, you’ll know certain images or have certain ideas about it. It’s such a popular story. The reason we did something with it is that it’s captured the imagination of people for a very long time.”

- Tim Burton

“There’s a lot of color and brightness and then de-saturation in The Hatter. He’s like a mood ring I suppose.”

- Johnny Depp

I don’t know if anyone remembers this, but a while back I had the idea of taking tattoo submissions. I follow a tattoo blog and they just posted a Frankenweenie one that someone got recently and it sparked the idea again.

So if anyone has a Burton tattoo and is willing to submit it I’d love to be your gateway of sharing it with the rest of the world! :)

 ”In dealing with all the green screen and obstacles she had to deal with, she took it all in stride. She always was trying to remember the character and just go back to that place within herself. That was helpful, because it could be a nightmarish process. It goes against all of your instincts, I would imagine, as an actor — you have nothing to work with. The guy standing there with a green stick is not really that inspiring, you know.”

- Tim Burton

“The great thing about her is that, long before I met her, she had a full career. She’s also willing to do things that aren’t necessarily glamorous or attractive, and I admire her for that.”

- Tim Burton

Alice: This is impossible.
Hatter: Only if you believe it is.
Alice: Sometimes I believe as many as six impossible things before breakfast.
Hatter: That is an excellent practice.
