Nice Elfman quotes

[Anonymous]

Hi all,

Here is a suggestion of a new topic where you’re all invited to post your favorite and funniest Danny Elfman quotes. Thus making all of us benefit from the man’s wit and humor. Try to avoid Oingo Boingo lyrics as many of us already know them perfectly.

Here’s my favorite one :

“Masturbation four times a day is also an excellent exercise in becoming a film composer”

This is so daring and fun…

“You’re not getting me into a tux. The only way I’ll wear a tux is when I’m dead and I have no choice because that’s what the undertaker dressed me in.” —paraphrase from interview when MIB and GWH were nominated for oscars.

I’m partial to the straight-forward answer of, “How the f— should I know?” when asked what he was gonna do after the final Boingo concert.

A Jan 97 AOL interview–

when asked where he thought his compositions were going…
“All I’ve ever wanted to do is elevator music. So, maybe I’ll get my shot someday. P.S. Dentist’s offices would be nice,too.”

on his choice of percussive instruments…
“No one is safe when I’m carrying drumsticks.”
