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.

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.

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 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.

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.'

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.

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.

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

One of the best films made by Tim Burton.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I'd always hoped to work with Tim Burton.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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!'

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

I went below deck with the skipper Tim Magee to check out the fittings and what we found alarmed us enormously.

Looking at the restructuring, it will make the bond holders more comfortable at the expense of the minority shareholders, ... If they get TIM out from under TI, bond holders will have better access to one of the crown jewels in the TI portfolio.

My mother helped him with the recipes, and we all kind of worked together in his business. Tim had many friends, he was very honest and a lovable brother.

That connection stays strong as long as Tim Duncan is playing,

Stefan played a really great match tactically. Tim just came from the U.S. Open and it was probably a bit of adjustment for him.

Stephen Daldry would be a director that I would love to work with as well as Peter Jackson, Tim Burton, and I'm very lucky to have worked with Isabel Coixet, who is also one of my favourite directors.

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.

Just another bull session. Breakfast Club? That's what Tim calls it.

Our information indicates Tim was somewhere other than Cassville, Missouri. That's what our research shows.

Jon and Tim both admittedly didn't have their best game. Jon said he kept grinding all the way to the end. We say when you don't have your stuff you grind it out. Tim said he was four or five strokes over early and just kept grinding.

It'd be great if Tim could come back to the team with me. Right now, that would be the best thing that could happen for us.

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.

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.

It is a tremendous honor and a great responsibility to follow in Tim Taylor's footsteps as head hockey coach at Yale. His impact on Yale, Yale Hockey, and me personally has been profound. I enthusiastically embrace the challenge of building upon his legacy while taking the Yale Hockey program to the next level.

I think the writing for this book is extraordinary. And that's why we call it 'Above and Beyond,' because it really is above and beyond what we expected. Writers like (Kurt) Vonnegut and Tim O'Brien waited years after their service to write their books. There's an immediacy and rawness to this book that makes it so compelling.

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.

Robert Wagner, who I met at a celebrity event in Aspen, Cindy Crawford, Tim Conway, all these people are great fans.

Outside of the office, Tim and I got along really well.

I think he's got it. The Democrats need candidates whom people can relate to in a personal way, people who understand their lives and their concerns and share their values. And I think that's something Tim can do without even pretending.

I think (defensive line coach) Tim Cross made a great statement: 'It isn't about if we can play with them, but we need to win,' ... I was informed today that we were underdogs. I was informed of the amount (21 points). I will tell you, in my coaching career, this is the most I've ever heard that I was an underdog in a game other than a basketball game that I did win. Obviously, we have quite a test.

I was very inspired by people like Tim Roth and Gary Oldman. I just thought, if they could do it, I could do it.

I worked for her three years while I was in high school. Her son Tim and I ran together. She was wonderful to work for. Miss Patsy and the Dairy Bar have been part of this town for years. It can't be the same now.

It feels better. (Trainer Tim Walsh) said give it a chance to heal, give it a day, no running and see how it feels the next day. If not then, definitely the next (game against Detroit). I definitely want to play Tuesday.
