I don't consider 'American Rose' to be a biography so much as a microcosm of 20th-century America, told through Gypsy's tumultuous life - it's 'Horatio Alger meets Tim Burton.'

I would do anything Tim [Burton] wanted me to. You know - have sex with an aardvark... I would do it.

For some of us, Halloween is everyday.

When you don’t have many friends and you don’t have a social life you’re kind of left looking at things, not doing things. There’s a weird freedom in not having people treat you like you’re part of society or where you have to fulfill social relationships.

Tim Burton, let's face it: he's into stitches.

I'm an enormous Tim Burton fan.
