“It’s like, if a dog is trying to please the master. It breaks something, you scold it, and it goes to the corner. But as soon as you call it, it comes right back. It forgets everything. There’s this unconditional love. I thought Edward would be like that.”

- Johnny Depp

“When he was in the booth, he said that he felt like he hadn’t done that voice since he did it in front of the camera. He was able to snap right back into Edward Scissorhands once we pulled up a clip from the movie.

He was amazing — and demonstrated extraordinary patience with all the fawning women in our office who swarmed him.”

“Here was a guy who was perceived as this thing — this Tiger Beat teen idol. But just meeting him, I could tell, without knowing the guy, he wasn’t that as a person. Very simply, he fit the profile of the character. We were in Florida in 90-degree heat, and he couldn’t use his hands, and he was wearing a leather outfit and covered head to toe with makeup. I was impressed by his strength and stamina.”

Have a Burton tattoo?

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! :)

“One night (Johnny) had to do a running sequence, running away from the house, I think at Christmas. And he passed out. He fell down and we thought, ‘well is he acting? What’s he doing?’ and he’d passed out. Never complained, but he’d passed out from the heat of the suit. It was really remarkable, but somehow very revealing about him and that quality comes through his acting.“

“We just had a couple of hats, and there was something about the image of that, something about that clicked. It was kind of like a weird, scissory peace sign. Something about that image, which has been used so many times before. And it kind of points down to him. It was more of a feeling, in a way.”
