Okay, so Tim Burton has a new-ish book out called 'The art of Tim Burton', and it lists Winona as a contributor. I take that to mean she wrote a thing or two about Tim in the book?
Does anyone know anything about this? Did she help him paint or did she write about Tim? If so, does anyone know what Winona wrote or what she had to do with this? I just came across it and don't really know much about it is all.....

Info about the book here:

UPDATE:

So I found this quote online by Winona about Tim and I think it's fairly new due to her making references to: Ed Wood, Edward Scissorhands, The Corpse Bride, Beetlejuice(!), and Edward Scissorhands again (I think). So maybe this is either a quote in the book 'The Art of Tim Burton' or perhaps something she wrote to go along with Tim's LACMA showing, or perhaps it's fake?


Here it is:
"Tim understands the human heart in a way very few people do. He knows the pain of the misunderstood, of the odd, and even of the mad. He celebrated them in a way that is both totally unique, compassionate, tender, terrifying, and often hilarious. But there always remains a dignity to his characters. Every role in a Tim Burton movie is a character role. His ‘heroes’ are the very outcasts he loves. The cross-dressing, wide eyed director or the dying legendary heroin-addicted actor, the unfinished boy who lives in a castle, the bride who is a corpse, the employed cadavers in office waiting rooms, and the bored desperate housewives - all colour his vision. He’s always finding the odd splendor in the world that he creates, the humour and heartache and soulful complexity in the fairy tale, possessing that uncanny ability to humanize and bring a certain gallantry to those who may be wreaking havoc within the story, all of which talents are purely Tim’s own."
