Tim BurtonsBeetlejuice Beetlejuicewasnt a cash grab, he told reporters at a Wednesday press conference during Venice Film Festival.

Like I said, I didnt watch the first movie to prepare for this.

I remembered the spirit of it and I remembered everybody here.

Over the past few years, I got disillusioned with the movie business, Burton said.

I lost myself a bit, so this movie was re-energizing.

Thats the only way for me to be a success is I have to love doing it.

It took 35 years to do this.

For another, Id be over 100.

It could be possible thanks to medical science.

But I dont think so.
