The radio is blastin', someone's knockin' at the door. I'm lookin' at my girlfriend, she's passed out on the floor.
Randy Newman
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.
Randy Newman
I like to write my lyrics on clay tablets.
Randy Newman
Short people got no reason to live.
Randy Newman
If we'd had another carefree 70s, I'd have been dead. It was a little too carefree, you know? I don't know how carefree they were for me, I think I was worried then, I can't remember what about.
Randy Newman
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.
Randy Newman
I like the idea of taking a true classic written by a true genius and essentially destroying it!
Randy Newman
I am half a man, holy Jesus, what a drag.
Randy Newman
I'd like to explain why you fine young men had to be blown apart to defend this mud hole.

You keep wondering whether people will see that Barack Obama is a liar and not very bright.
Randy Newman
College men from L.S.U., went in dumb, come out dumb, too.
Randy Newman
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.
Randy Newman
It takes a whole lot of medicine for me to pretend I am somebody else.
Randy Newman
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
It's very hard to get rich and famous at a young age and handle it well.
Randy Newman
I've written a song for Prince. I never showed it to Prince, but just to see if I could do it. At the time, when I sort of knew him, he was recording a song a day. I wondered if I could do that. So I wrote it.
Randy Newman
Don't forget to bring that little blonde haired girl along. You know the one, love to watch her jump up and down.
Randy Newman
Who would want to break into [the music business]? It's like a bank that's already been robbed.
Randy Newman
I like the performing. And interviews, even. And the stuff that's not sitting in a room by yourself with empty paper. But I never loved writing, to tell you the truth.
Randy Newman
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
