They don't respect us, so let's surprise them, we'll drop the big one, pulverize them.
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

I've always had a lot of respect from the people I respected.
Randy Newman
Image
Most of my songs are about insensitivity of some kind.
Randy Newman
Image
It takes a whole lot of medicine for me to pretend I am somebody else.
Randy Newman

If getting on the radio was a major motivation, I'd be one of the worst writers of all time. I admire people who do it, and I think it's a nice way to work, but I try to do the best I can and write what I like. I don't worry about it.

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.

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

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.

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.

Who would want to break into [the music business]? It's like a bank that's already been robbed.

Crank up the Beach Boys, Baby.

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.

I like Public Enemy a great deal.

The radio is blastin', someone's knockin' at the door. I'm lookin' at my girlfriend, she's passed out on the floor.

I hate having to wait. I've got the thing done. I just want to see what happens.

It's funny people get so doctrinaire about music. It should be the last thing you don't have an open mind about.
Randy Newman
Image
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.

Don't forget to bring that little blonde haired girl along. You know the one, love to watch her jump up and down.
