- Burton is wary of revisiting his past hits, explaining that 'certain things are best left on their own' - a stark contrast to his willingness to make a third Beetlejuice film, which he joked he'd be over 100 years old by the time it gets made.
- The director has hinted at a future collaboration with frequent star Johnny Depp, but ruled out sequels to the Disney-owned Edward Scissorhands and The Nightmare Before Christmas, which he sees as 'one-off' films that shouldn't be revisited.
