Danny Elfman

I can't get that live and I don't have the time to take the tape, after I've finished recording it, into a little studio somewhere else where I can get a different kind of percussion sound. ↗

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

I like creating these rhythmic patterns. These interlocking rhythmic things are really fun. ↗

I would have to say I might do some stuff, but it's the film that's appealing. I was raised on film. My musical experience is all via film, it's not from classical music. ↗

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. ↗

I'll look back and I'd be better to answer that in about three months from now. Or when the movie comes out and I see it. I don't even know what it is yet. I've still been in the middle of it. ↗

In Tim's films, more than most, if you miss the tone, you don't get the film. ↗

It sounds really stupid, I hate making cosmic comments like this but, I just let it do what it wants to do. ↗

Or certainly I would need time - which I would love to have but there almost never is on a film - to just spend a week with a roomful of guys laying down these patterns. ↗
