"Almost every year over the last thirty, Tim Burton worked on one or more exciting projects that were never green lighted and produced. Every year, he spent an enormous amount of time on failed projects. A few: Catwoman, Conversations With Vincent, Dinosaurs Attack!, The Fall of the House of Usher, Geek Love, Go Baby Go, Hawkline Monster, Lost in Oz, Mai the Psychic Girl, Mary Reilly, Superman Lives, X: The Man With X-Ray Eyes. One key element of a successful artist: ship. Get it out the door. Make things happen. The other: fail. Fail often. Dream big and don't make it. Not every time, anyway." - × × ×
