College men from L.S.U., went in dumb, come out dumb, too.
Randy Newman
Image
I've always had a lot of respect from the people I respected.
Randy Newman
Image
They don't respect us, so let's surprise them, we'll drop the big one, pulverize them.
Randy Newman
Image
Who would want to break into [the music business]? It's like a bank that's already been robbed.
Randy Newman
Image
Sometimes what I'm writing is more important to me than the rest of my life. It's more important to me that I'm writing well than anything else.

Image
If you have a kid and you try irony out on them, they don't get it at 7, 8 years old. You can't really hide the Internet from kids. It worries me some particularly because I've done Disney and Pixar stuff.

You keep wondering whether people will see that Barack Obama is a liar and not very bright.
Randy Newman
Image
This is the Republican Party who has run against Russia for 80 years and you know, (Trump) hasn't mentioned (Putin) except in a positive way.
Randy Newman
Image
Still, it's clear that there are lots of people out there who are uncomfortable [about racism]. The Civil War was a long time ago but there are aspects of it that remain unsettled.

Things aren't black and white in the world.

I like the idea of taking a true classic written by a true genius and essentially destroying it!
Randy Newman
Image
You know, they say you can reduce genius to someone who spent 10,000 hours trying to get good at something. I'm not claiming either one of those. I haven't done anything for 10,000 hours but sleep. But you do stuff enough, you get better at it. Usually it's a simple thing like that. Essentially, a brainless endeavor.

It takes a whole lot of medicine for me to pretend I am somebody else.
Randy Newman
Image
I realized that, instead of moving people closer to a salvation decision, an answer can push them further away. Rather than engaging their minds or urging them to consider an alternative perspective, an answer can give them ammunition for future attacks against the gospel.
Randy Newman
Image
It's a big surprise to me about America that there are 40 million people prepared to vote for (Trump). They wouldn't want him as a friend. No matter who you are, you wouldn't want him on your bowling team or to have dinner with him or anything. They would recognize it immediately in a guy. A big blowhard, braggart.

I've written about a lot of different things, but the whole idea of writing for another character is unusual for pop music... Most of the repertory is love songs, and most of mine isn't. I don't know if that's a mental defect, or shyness, or what.
Randy Newman
Image
Most of my songs are about insensitivity of some kind.

We don't know our ass from a hole in the ground.

Asia's crowded and Europe's too old, Africa is far too hot and Canada's too cold. And South America stole our name, let's drop the big one.

It's very hard to get rich and famous at a young age and handle it well.
