More quotes by 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'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
I've always had a lot of respect from the people I respected.
Randy Newman
Most of my songs are about insensitivity of some kind.
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
Who would want to break into [the music business]? It's like a bank that's already been robbed.
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
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 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
It's very hard to get rich and famous at a young age and handle it well.
Randy Newman
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
Rednecks always made me nervous to play, but I'm glad I wrote it and I continue to play it. It's just that the language is so rough.
Randy Newman
They don't respect us, so let's surprise them, we'll drop the big one, pulverize them.
Randy Newman
We don't know our ass from a hole in the ground.
Randy Newman
I like Public Enemy a great deal.
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
You keep wondering whether people will see that Barack Obama is a liar and not very bright.
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.
Randy Newman
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
I'd like to explain why you fine young men had to be blown apart to defend this mud hole.
