00:00Alright, ladies and gentlemen, it is our great pleasure to welcome the newest Wacka Famer to the Hollywood Wacka Band, Tim Burton!
00:10This is very special to me because, as I said, as a child I used to come down here from Burbank, on the bus, no adults.
00:35In fact, I was young enough to think that these things were actually gravestones when I first came here.
00:40But, I used to come down here and visit the Larry Edmonds bookshop and come here.
00:45And when I found out it was here, I just almost started crying because I've been coming here ever since I was a little child and the store hasn't changed at all.
00:55And so, for me, it's such an honor to have this store, but also to have it right here in front of this incredible shop, museum, toy shop, everything.
01:04Your friendship has been such an enormous gift.
01:09When I met you, I was a weird kid.
01:13You affirmed my voice, you reinforced my confidence to be myself, to go against the tides of conformity.
01:21And, in other words, you made being a weird girl not just okay, but something to celebrate and even kind of cool.
