Tim Burton to most people is an insane human being, but regardless of whether he really is or isn't, he embraced that insanity. Tim Burton has made many movies in which he uses insane creations and despite any negative connotations against his thought process, he continues to make such strange things.
In this interview, Tim Burton had said "the word normal always scared be." In my opinion it good to fear the word normal because it shows that one stands out from the rest or that one may not wish to be like everyone else. Being normal is sign that someone has given up their craft and is sign of loosing part of what one may be. Tim Burton had shown time and time again that he had not given up on his craft and he would never loose any sign of who he is. His fear of the word normal is only natural and it is what inspires him to make the strange and unforeseen creatures.
