Tim Quotations

Working with Tim Burton is like a psychic experience -Tim waves his hands and says, 'I don't know,' and you go home and do it. He's the most articulate nonverbal person in the world. He doesn't say a word, and you know exactly what it means.

Like many actors, I started off as a monkey. My first job ever was as an extra in Tim Burton's 'Planet of the Apes.' I'm the tiny little monkey in the background. I met Rick Baker doing that - then, because of my size and the fact I was older than 18, he figured I could double Daveigh Chase in 'The Ring.'

Tim Berners-Lee, the 44-year-old English physicist who created the World Wide Web, is precisely the kind of hero that a relatively simple invention with profound social and economic consequences should lay claim to. He is not just creative but democratic, diplomatic, polite and generous with credit and praise.

I knew Tim Pastoor. I knew Sherry Ford. I knew many of the individuals who would follow me around. I knew who they were. I knew they had access to my email.

I remember Tim telling me that he had an idea for a musical and he said to me that he was hoping that ABBA would be writing the music, which I thought was a pretty wild idea because they were obviously known very much as pop writers.

My very first acting role was Tiny Tim in 'A Christmas Carol.'

I'd really like to do a movie again with Tim Robbins and Clint Eastwood. They were really good guys.

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.'

It was a lot of pressure, but I loved working with Tim and I loved working with Adrian.

For me, one of my favorites, director-wise, is Tim Burton. I also really admire the work of actors like Sean Penn. He is probably my favorite actor because of his dedication and commitment to roles, and the ability to morph and change himself when he needs to. It's about dedication and commitment and a passion.

I want to be in a Tim Burton movie so bad.

Tim on the show does a lot of that posturing, of course, and feels sort of threatened by women. But even at that, you do see him cooking, and ultimately he's a good father because he spends a lot of time with the boys.

I attribute the black tones in my films to Stephen King, Tim Burton, Joe Hill and Richard Matheson. However, most of my writing is influenced by mental health. I'm incredibly passionate about shedding light on the stigmas associated with mental illnesses.

I wrote 'Mr. In-Between' very quickly when I was about 23. I wrote the penultimate chapter, then realised I'd done something which was written to the best of my abilities. I panicked. I hesitated to finish the final chapter and went into withdrawal for three years. I decided to pick it up again after I went drinking with author Tim Binding.

When I first came into the league, I was with Tim Dwight in San Diego, and a guy named Eric Parker, who really showed me the work ethic it takes to be an NFL receiver, and I've really tried to keep that with me.

I've worked with Tim Burton five times, and it's just like being part of a family; life doesn't get much better than that.

Tim Conway was a little different from the rest. He was always in the back of the studio building something with the prop man, rewriting his lines, or plotting our demise.

There is nothing special about Tim Scott. I'm an ordinary guy serving an extraordinary God and that makes the difference.

Tim Burton... as an actor you wait and wish and hope and pray you'll work with him.

I've always liked fairy tale and spectacle. I wouldn't say I was a fantasy fan, but anything beyond reality I've always found exciting - the work of David Lynch, the work of Tim Burton. But for me, I also love those things that are absolutely about human relationships.

Just like Tim Robbins is very political - and obviously, Arnold Schwarzenegger must be - I want to be able to have this public personality that's considered authoritative.

I'm on a mission to make people aware that I'm not a solo artist. I'm sometimes challenged by the branding of Tim Crouch.

There's a lot that goes into being Tim McGraw or Kenny Chesney. They have great songs, their show is great, they're very fit. When you look at somebody who takes care of themselves, takes care of their business, that's what every CEO would do.

I totally think there was a country hair phase. If you look at all the mullets, and Dolly Parton, and Reba's hair, Tim McGraw's hair, Blake Shelton's hair, they definitely had their moments.

I'm being photographed, worrying about my hair - and yet here I am, I've directed a feature film, why do I care about the way I look? Who cares? Does Tim Burton care? Does Joel Coen?

I think I do regret leaving Kentucky because I took over a team with 15 wins banking everything on the Tim Duncan lottery, and once we didn't get Tim Duncan, I realized that leaving Kentucky was not a good move.

It's a shame that so many people are so intimidated and bothered by Tim Tebow's stance as a Christian. He's not bothering anybody. He's simply being who He is and giving all glory to His Lord.

I went and met with Tim Burton for the role of Batman. But I just couldn't really take it seriously; any man who wears his underpants outside his pants just cannot be taken seriously.

We're going to need Tim and it was good to see him square one up.

We believe Tim will solidify the football culture of the Seahawks.

We're going to have to take a few games to find out what our rotation is. We lost a good player. So with Tim out, we'll have to move our lineup around a little bit and just see what we can do with it.

Three years ago, Tim was a candidate and did a real god job. Everyone on the search committee was real impressed with him. It just wasn't going to work from a time and commitment standpoint due to his high school duties.

We're still in the process of looking for a basketball coach, ... As of this morning, we have no announcement regarding a new hire. Tim Floyd is obviously one of the coaches we're looking at.

We ran a screen and roll and it was open all night for the drive so we were hoping it would open up the 3. Tim got it to me, I had a little trouble handling it, but once I let it go, I knew it was on line.

There is a lot of evidence to back up the assertion that war fiction takes time. Many all-time classics of the genre, from Erich Maria Remarque's 'All Quiet on the Western Front' to Joseph Heller's 'Catch-22' to Tim O'Brien's 'The Things They Carried,' took over a decade to pen.

The reason (Burton) wanted to make 'Ed Wood' is that Ed Wood had so much fun making movies. And that's where Ed Wood and Tim Burton connect. Tim Burton makes films that are a lot better, but he doesn't make them with any more love.

When Tim Parris and I joined we really started a new program to grow the management of ambulatory surgery centers and hospitals.

When Tim Gallagher came back to the lab, he had to decide what to do. He'd just seen a bird no one had seen in 60 years. He could tell the world, which might be bad for the bird and bad for him. Many have been called crazy as a loon for saying they'd seen an ivory-bill.

When Tim came and spoke to us (last March), he laid out the things he was going to do in the next few months. Probably 94.8 percent of those were done when he said they?d be, and I can?t honestly tell you what the other 5 percent are.

When Tim and I moved back to Illinois in 2003, my little brother started playing on bass. It was nice when my brother joined the band. It seemed like things really clicked and came together with him on bass.

Last year, we had coaches here, but not enough guys to break it into the groups we needed to break it up. This year, we've got 15 to 16 guys on the varsity team. We can break them into groups of four. Each one of us are working with someone. Brent is working on guys with hitting. Bill has guys working on fielding. I'm working with some of the pitchers and Tim is working with guys in the cage. We've got different kinds of coaches. Brent and I are loud and boisterous. Tim and Bill are kind of more soft-spoken. The kids are getting different styles of coaching.

So, I called Tim and said, 'You know, I think this is a mistake.' He called back with that response about what it was really about. So, I don't know. The newspaper might be a business you want to get the hell out of right now, because there seems to be quite a vendetta from what I'm hearing on the senior staff and everything else.

So I called Tim (about the advertising tax) and said ... 'You know, I think this is a mistake.' He called back with that response about what it was really about. The idea and the real plan behind it is, 'We're going to screw the media.' That's a problem because their goal is to shut people up. They want to be able to give themselves 16 percent pay raises and not have a complaint from the media about it. They don't want to have anybody in the public speak up.

On any given day one of those three are going to be second. I was real pleased the way Charles Myers ran right with them today. Tim Smith was there too. I hate losing those seniors, but next year we'll have Tim Smith and freshman Steven Reynolds.

She has a great vision. She should have Tim Burton be a director and she's the set designer for some kind of fantasy-type program with Danny Elfman doing the music.

Mike's a better perimeter shooter than Tim. Tim might be the best leader I've ever coached. But they both play the same position and have great knowledge of the game. Mike's kind of old-school. He's a basketball player. He has long arms, a good jump hook, good fakes inside and a knack around the basket.

One of the best films made by Tim Burton.

One of his best games ever, for me. That's the old Tim Hudson.

needs to go and help Tim in Omaha because his car broke down there and to pick up a TV set Tim has ... and he needs to go right now.

I was pretty confident, but Tim Thomas and I played in the same league over in Finland. I think he knew what I was going to do. I had been going with a move in the shootout before this and I think it was time to change that move.

I'd always hoped to work with Tim Burton.

I am excited to have Tim as my successor. His success at Apartments.com speaks for itself, and he has my full support.

I believe that Tim would rank in the top 10 for career wins here at Ireton, but unfortunately he hurt his arm last summer.

I believe the great coaches have passion that comes out of their pores and not just their mouth. You don't just see that passion, you felt it. Tim Walton has passion.

I am so proud of her. It's an outstanding program. We have known Tim Connelly for over 20 years. To get a full scholarship is amazing. Throughout her career she has always given me her best.

But it's looking like I'm just opening it up for (quarterback Tim Rattay), ... because I don't think he's going to pass it to me.

I managed Dal Maxvill, and he's now our general manager. I managed Bob Gibson. He's a broadcaster. Tim McCarver. Bill White. Nellie Briles. He used to be a broadcaster. I tried to count them up one time.

I'm also looking forward to Pat Conroy and Tim O'Brien. They have been some of my favorite writers.

I have always tried to get Tim to be a little more open-minded and diverse in his thinking,

I feel like Fortier was just as instrumental in my daughter's execution as Terry Nichols and Tim McVeigh,

I feel good about things. Worst-case scenario here, we would've only been one game up, so three's all right. We wish we could've extended it, but Randy Johnson pitched a great game, as did Tim Wakefield.

I can't see Tim Henman as the sort of player who hangs around the tennis circuit ranked 30 or 40 in the world,

I don't think you say quarterback is the only place to upgrade. If we're competitive in the (Big Ten), there's no question that Tim will be improved.

I don't think you can say quarterback is the only place we need to upgrade to be competitive. Tim is going to be improved, and he'll be the first to tell you he needs to. You can only go so fast. To say Tim is the only one who needs to improve is not fair.

If Tim McVeigh is such a monster, why didn't he shoot the cop when he pulled him over? ... ...if McVeigh had done such a dastardly deed that's what he would have done.

If Tim had stayed healthy, I think ultimately he would have been successful (in Cleveland).

If Tim Duncan's foot is bothering him in the playoffs, you never know what could happen. The Lakers are a good team. They could make a run in the West.

If Tim changed his mind, a petition could be filed in the U.S. Supreme Court, but that's not going to happen.

He's certainly very, very pleased that the government came to what we think was the right conclusion. Tim feels vindicated and humbled.

He is a lifelong football personnel man. Personnel people, they have a passion for it. They want to help the head coach. They want to give him the best players they can give him. And it creates a real healthy trust and working relationship. Bob's first love, as you know, was basketball. And he was taking on a lot of jobs. It's different now, because Tim is a lifelong football guy. We have a good relationship.

He is going to be a great head coach. I'll be really surprised if he doesn't get a job somewhere. He's done a great job with this unit and he's made it exciting. He's made me want to go out there and play like I was young again. I'm proud to play for Tim and, unselfishly, I hope I'm not playing for him next year.

He is both strong and quick, one of the toughest to beat one-on-one. With a little more experience, Tim has the potential to burst on to the national scene.

He is a very athletic, quick, explosive scorer and has great experience. One of the reasons why we are making the trade is that we haven't had anyone here like that since Tim Hardaway left.

We are flattered that a star of Tim McGraw's magnitude wants to dedicate one of his songs to halftime of 'Monday Night Football,'

Having Tim join our team will allow us to apply our automated technology to the options business and become that single-source destination ... our partners are looking for.

He's a Chicago guy, explosive to the basket. He has a certain style the way he does things. At this point, though, it's not about being the best basketball player. As great a player as Tim Duncan is, he's not going to sell any shoes. He doesn't have that persona. It's about standing above the crowd. Just being a good guy and clean-cut guy is not going to do it.

He's kind of a cross between Tim and Nate. He has pretty good savvy. He doesn't have quite the energy that Tim had, but I'm not real sure anybody does. But he's a guy who plays with passion. He only knows one way, and that's giving it all he has.

His potential is fantastic and to beat Tim was a great result for him.

His offensive footwork in the post has gotten so much better. He's quicker and he's understanding how to move, reverse pivots, drop steps, Tim Duncan-like stuff. The thing he's doing best is pick and pop, where he sets a screen, gets the ball back and hits a 15-17 foot jumper.

We look forward to the campaign each August because we know Tim Todd is being used by God to put Truth into the hands of America's teenagers.

I absolutely loved working with Tim Burton because he is just a creative, outside of the box thinker. How he does things is fantastic. It is different - weird different - and he does things that are groundbreaking. They are courageous to do and once you do them you are like, 'Wow! That really does work!'

I admire young Tim for doing what he did having had a young family. Family is first in my book.

I admire young Tim for doing what he did ù having had a young family. Family is first in my book.

Kenny Parker from Parker Electric is doing all of the electric. Wolff Brothers Supply Inc., all of the lighting and fans. And Tim Perrin (from Perrin Asphalt-Perrin Concrete) is putting in a new driveway and a turnaround out front.

I wrote to Tim Rice about making a musical about an English madam. He wrote back and said that he thought it was a brilliant idea, but he's too busy.

It almost feels like we've been kicked back to a secondary event unfortunately. I wish Tim would look at it a little bit harder - and give us a better date.

I taught her everything she knows, ... She played with me last year, and look what's happened. I hope I have the same impact on Tim as I did Paula.

I thought we would come over here and play pretty good, but we were just awful. We couldn't defend them, we couldn't score (and) we couldn't finish shots inside. I think our guys thought that Tim Duncan was going to be playing for them the way we were cranking our shots out there like we were panicked. That's been a problem for us and it was pretty obvious this game.

It involves an allegation against a Mendon police sergeant that Millville was doing an investigation for the state. The allegation is that Tim Ryan, the chief, leaked this information to some members of the media, I was one of them -- he did not leak it to me.

I thought about majoring in business, but it was too broad. TIM is the same thing but more focused.

I think the biggest thing you could say is when he was with (Green Bay general manager) Ron Wolfe, he was very relaxed. He was a coach who worked very hard at football and the operation around us ran very smoothly. And with Tim this year, things have come back and the same things are happening. He's very relaxed. He knows we're covered, and Tim does a good job looking for players.

I think what's happened is that Millville wants their police chief, Tim Ryan, out. They hope to embarrass him by putting for some charges that eventually will not stick.

I think Biscuit and Tim (Kerr) were really visual artists from the get-go, ... The Big Boys had a extreme idea of presentation. It was beyond merely camp, it wasn't ironic, it was really confrontational.

It has been difficult for all of us because Tim was and did everything. Getting it all sorted out was a different kind of journey than we had ever been on, but it all came together so well. I hope people who loved the series and loved Tim will come out and enjoy it and all the work we've put into it.

I think Tim was a little tentative in the beginning. He had two open looks in the first half and if we were at home he would normally let them fly. I will say this, Syracuse is a lot bigger than they show on tape.

I think Tim did a great job of putting the ball where I could make a play.

I think Tim Cook would have enjoyed the meet. The coaches I talked to had a fun day and everybody seemed relaxed and enjoying themselves. Not having a scoring meet makes this a totally different atmosphere.

I think Tim being in the Guard is great. I hope all of my kids join the military. It teaches them discipline and respect.

I think Tim and I have been waiting for this for a decade, finally to see someone who I believe is the real deal and has proven himself already in the Grand Slams and on the tour,

I think some people fail to know that Tim Sandidge is a guy who has played a lot of plays here. He's playing a lot again now and he's been able to show his talents.
