(ANSA) - ROME, OCTOBER 23 - Who is Tim Burton, director of Scissor Hands, afraid of? "I'm afraid to stay here to answer questions, I didn't sleep for this last night." So the director today at the Rome Film Festival replies to the question and not joking too much. But from today's meeting there are many considerations by the American director even if they are expressed amonosyllables.
Making another Dumbo? "In that case, Disney made me feel Dumbo, I had a nervous breakdown after that experience. '' About the
Oscar I never got, he jokes about:" I don't know why I didn't get it - he says immediately - but he had a Golden Globe ". And then he adds laughing: no that's not true, I didn't even get that one, but only one nomination."
Tim Burton, who will receive the Lifetime Achievement Award tonight, spoke in a packed room and certainly beat the assault record of boys and girls ready to do anything for his autograph.
