From KCRW Santa Monica and KCRW.com, this is The Treatment.

Welcome to the Treatment.

We're at the Chateau Marmont.

My guest, Tim Burton is thought as being somebody who doesn't work a lot,

but since his first film, Peewe's Big Adventure in 1985,

he's basically made a film every other year.

If you think about it, just the last decade alone,

Planet of the Apes, Big Fish, Corpse Bride,

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,

Alice in Wonderland, Dark Shadows, and his most recent film,

Frankenweeney. That's just in the 21st century, Tim.

You forgot Sweeney Todd. Throw that in there. I've just, I didn't forget them. I'm just throwing

out names. Should we go all the way back to the beginning? No, no, no. Let's not, let's not bring up past,

let's not bring up, it's been so long you're already correcting me.

Thank you for this.

But you do, you work a lot.

This is interesting because there's a kind of sense of anxiety

that's often a part of your movies.

I wonder if that happens to you as you're working,

as you begin working again.

Well, no, I mean, I love working.

I mean, I think my favorite part is the shooting of it.
