“These kind of feelings are, you know, not just me … a lot of kids grow up feeling that way and this is just the way I felt. And once you feel that way, it never kind of leaves you,” he said.
“This is just characters identified with and no matter what you’re doing, those feelings stay with you,” the gothic visionary went on to say. “Even as you get older, you can have kids, you can have relationships, whatever. But it’s funny how those kind of things kind of remain in your DNA.”

While answering a question about his most “personal” work, the enigmatic filmmaker said during the Q&A that it’s “hard for [him]” to pick a favorite.
Nevertheless, he mentionedEdward Scissorhands, Ed Wood,andThe Nightmare Before Christmas.
“There’s things in everything and it’s hard for me to pick, but I think those are ones that come springing to mind,” he told the audience.

Tim also revealed that he never thought about the audience while developing a film because he simply didn’t know who they were.
“I never really knew who the audience was so I never really targeted anything. I was always surprised whether kids or adults or anybody liked it,” he said. “So I truly never thought about who the audience was.”
“I’m shocked if a film is a success,” he added. “I’m shocked if it’s a failure.”

While talking about the ever-expanding world of modern technology, Tim described himself as a “technophobe,” even though he relies on it to make his critically acclaimed movies.
“I found strangely that my soul and my body resists it … I get depressed. I get lost. I go down my own personal rabbit hole and so I avoid it. It doesn’t make me feel good,” he said about technology.
The display also features hundreds of Tim’s expressionistic sketches and drawings, which he has created prolifically since childhood
Some of the items highlighted in the exhibition were the Catwoman suit from 1992’sBatman ReturnsandWednesday Addams’ viral Rave’N dance dress.
