Riggs: "I grew up loving Tim's movies. 'Edward Scissorhands' and 'Beetlejuice' and' Ed Wood' and 'Pee-Wee's Big Adventure' - all these beautiful, quirky films about outsiders searching for their place in the world appealed to me. In the meantime, Burton comments for Riggs: "The book had elements of a folk tale, or a fable. If you go back before films, fairy tales were these horrible, graphic stories."
