Director Tim Burton (Pee-Wee's Big Adventure) has some poignant points to make about, well, life: that the dead must teach the living to savor it.

...sure, one of the limitations of student journalism is the editing process. Perhaps some of my statements were originally correct and used in context, but were shuffled and distorted in the wee hours of the night. This is unfortunate, but forgiveable. What is unforgiveable, however, is the hyped misrepresentation of a sensitive and volatile issue, which leads to further entrenchment and hostilities.
