And I Jack, the Pumpkin King, have grown so tired of the same old thing.

I'm not a big fan of spiders, rats, especially if they're like - I got up one morning on a holiday recently, and there was a centipede in the bed that big. I wasn't very happy about that.

People told me I couldn't kill Nicholson, so I cast him in two roles and killed him off twice.

Minister: Welcome, brother! Do you reject Satan and all his works? Bunny Breckinridge: Sure.

I always wonder why some people see things as weird and some people don't.

It's good as an artist to always remember to see things in a new, weird way.

I feel any time you enter a dream world it's like you're working out things, it's all inside your mind and you're working it out, be it Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz, or the kids in Narnia, they go through this weird journey that's not real, and they're going through this journey psychologically. It's that journey of discovery, of getting onself together, that fantasy and fairy tales are so good at. And while some people still look upon them as completely unrealistic, for me they're more real than most things that are perceived as real.
