(Tim Burton) and I talked about it years and years ago, never telling anyone. (…) We both agreed that, if it was done, it would be done as close as possible to what we had done the first time. Inventing things, making things happen (…) Like people creating things with their hands and building something. It’s really awesome. It’s the greatest pleasure I’ve had working on a film in I don’t know how long.
