Tim Burton scared by life

Tim Burton was scared of "real life".
The 'Alice in Wonderland' director claims watching scary movies never affected him because he was so frightened by everyday occurrences.
He said: "I never really got nightmares from movies. I was much more terrified by my own family and real life, you know?
"I think it would be more of a nightmare if someone told me to go to school or eat my breakfast. I would wake up in a cold sweat about those issues.
"I think that movies probably help you sort those kinds of things out and make you feel more comfortable. I did get freaked out when I saw 'The Exorcist' for the first time, but that was about it."
Discussing his love of old movie characters, Tim, 51, admits he prefers baddies and monsters to be simpler than many are now.
He said: "The thing I love about the old monsters is that they had such a strong, immediately identifiable image. I find that a lot of monsters today are just so busy.
"They have so many little tentacles and flaps and whatever else that they don't have the kind of strength in their images that the old monsters had."
