More quotes by Randy Newman
I'm dreaming of a white president. Just like the ones we've always had. A real live white man. Who knows the score, how to handle money or start a war. Wouldn't even have to tell me what we were fighting for. He'd be the right man, if he were a white man.

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.

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.

Things aren't black and white in the world.
Randy Newman
But I don't want to sing everything out of the side of my mouth, I want people to understand what I mean.

Randy Newman
College men from L.S.U., went in dumb, come out dumb, too.

I like to write my lyrics on clay tablets.
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
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.
Randy Newman
They don't respect us, so let's surprise them, we'll drop the big one, pulverize them.
Randy Newman
I hate having to wait. I've got the thing done. I just want to see what happens.
Randy Newman
We don't know our ass from a hole in the ground.
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
Crank up the Beach Boys, Baby.

I am half a man, holy Jesus, what a drag.

I seen her with the milkman, riding down the street. When you're through with my baby, milkman, send her home to me.
