‘Tim has such a beautiful and unique understanding of the human heart. He knows the heartache of the misunderstood, the strange and unusual,’ she said.
‘He doesn’t just understand them, he celebrates them. Whether outcasts, oddballs, terrifying or hilarious, he gives them depth, humor and always a certain gallantry and he gives them their dignity.’
After nearly four decades of knowing each other, Ryder told her longtime pal, ‘Your friendship has been such an enormous gift. When I met you I was a weird kid.’
‘Now you’re a weird adult,’ the Frankenweenie director quipped.
Ryder agreed and then praised the director saying, ‘you affirmed my voice, reinforced my confidence to be myself, to go against the tides of conformity, your creative inclusiveness is what true artistic collaboration looks like.’
