"I don't see myself necessarily having a burning desire to write a symphony."

Desire

Quote_1.png
Danny Elfman
"In Tim's films, more than most, if you miss the tone, you don't get the film."

Film

Quote_1.png
Danny Elfman
"You have to nail the right tone because sometimes when you just see his films cold, you're not quite sure. It's the same in - I'm trying to think of other directors with a similar sense - David Lynch's films, Tim's films, some of Cronenberg's stuff."

Right

Quote_1.png
Danny Elfman
"I had to do this very aggressive, big score in a very short time, and knowing that in the beginning, middle, and end would be this very, very famous theme, but I still had to weave a score around it and make it work as a score was really challenging."

Work

Quote_1.png
Danny Elfman
"Most often the music does end up in the movie, and sometimes there's a point where I wish that it wasn't, just because I think the score would be more effective if there was less of it. But, again, that's not my call."

Music

Quote_1.png
Danny Elfman
"So, it becomes an exercise in futility if you write something that does not express the film as the director wishes. It's still their ball game. It's their show. I think any successful composer learns how to dance around the director's impulses."

Dance

Quote_1.png
Danny Elfman
"I'll just start laying out the melody exactly where I want it to fall. And then I'll go back and fill it out. Whereas, in other pieces I'm really just going a couple bars at a time."

Time

Quote_1.png
Danny Elfman
"The first thing I do is lay out that melody and figure out how it has to hold here and then finish to land here, because you know in advance you're going to want the melody to catch four things in the action."

Action

Quote_1.png
Danny Elfman
"The beauty of a main title is that you establish your main theme and maybe a bit of your secondary theme. You plant the seed that you're going to go water later in the score. And so, having that removed just made it so much more difficult."

Beauty

Danny Elfman
"I like creating these rhythmic patterns. These interlocking rhythmic things are really fun."
