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 youre going to go water later in the score. And so, having that removed just made it so much more difficult. – Danny Elfman
Theres kind of a cool feel that happens every now and then. I guess that feel is the thing that makes the score its own score. But, I dont know exactly what that is. So, its hard for me to answer that question. – 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. – Danny Elfman
Science is out of the reach of morals, for her eyes are fixed upon eternal truths. Art is out of the reach of morals, for her eyes are fixed upon things beautiful and immortal and ever-changing. To morals belong the lower and less intellectual spheres. – Oscar Wilde, The Critic as Artist, 1891
