-"Respect the film. You don't have to like it." #ElmerWisdom
-"Reactions to movies don't change. Only techniques [in making movies.]" #ElmerWisdom
-"Rich chords are not as scary as thin chords" #ElmerWisdom
- "Assume every person in the theater will experience the score once. Decide what you can communicate that people can absorb right away." #ElmerWisdom
-"If you don't enjoy the process, don't get into the business. Enjoy what you're doing, when you're doing it." #ElmerWisdom
-"Avoid talking about music with the filmmaker. Instead, ask "What the audience should be feeling?'" #ElmerWisdom
-"People look down on you when you criticize or belittle others. Don't do it." #ElmerWisdom
-"No good score will ever be written if the director is always interfering." #ElmerWisdom
-"When a director knows exactly what he wants [from the score], he doesn't need a composer." #ElmerWisdom
-"I don't think there is anything in your entire life that can confuse you as quickly as a filmmmaker." #ElmerWisdom
-"Never fear your talented competitors. Fear the charlatans." #ElmerWisdom
-"To deny what a film is about is death for the film and score alike. #ElmerWisdom
-"If a filmmaker ever says 'Look, I just don't know enough about music, that's what you're here for' go to your local church, get on your knees & thank God." #ElmerWisdom
-"When people remember your scores, they're really remembering the film & the film experience. Not the music, just the association, because the music worked for them." #ElmerWisdom
-"In the long run, you're judged by how you helped the film, not how many records you sold." #ElmerWisdom
-"Focus on who you are, what you're willing to do or not to do. Don't prostitute yourself." #ElmerWisdom
-"Temp music: BAD." #ElmerWisdom
-"Everybody on a film thinks they have two jobs: their own... and music." #ElmerWisdom
-"If things keep going this way, there will be no more great scores." (1999) #ElmerWisdom
-"Jerry Goldsmith is the #1 composer working now. He's open to new ideas and always inventing." (1999) #ElmerWisdom
