It's like if I had time, it was between touring, doing an album, I got this period of time.
I would literally take a film, divide the money up between myself and the band.
I would give them half of my salary just to allow me to take these weeks off to...
do the work, and just learn as much as I could.
And then every time, you know, Tim did another film, it would open up more doors.
So Beetlejuice was like, oh, fantasy.
And then Batman is like, oh, you know, that was a rough one, but it's like he could do that.
And so each of his films, like another door would open.
And then I would get calls for fantasy films.
I'd get calls then for action films, you know.
That happened, yeah, later on.
I was on a film, and the director said, I was struggling with the title theme.
He says, can you make it sound more Danny Elfman?
And I said, honestly, I'm making it sound as Danny Elfman as I can, but for what you want, what you're hearing, there are others who probably do me better than me now.
I mean, you addressed it a bit in talking about the... It really started in earnest about eight years ago when I did a violin concerto, which was my third commission, but I was doing six, seven years between commissions.
And then when I did that piece, I said, I'm going to do it every year, one piece per year.
And it means I have to start saying no to films.
Is this more of a personal, like, I need to do this for me?
I need to do this for me.
Because huge challenge.
