More quotes by 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
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
They don't respect us, so let's surprise them, we'll drop the big one, pulverize them.
Randy Newman
I like Public Enemy a great deal.
Randy Newman
Who would want to break into [the music business]? It's like a bank that's already been robbed.
Randy Newman
I seen her with the milkman, riding down the street. When you're through with my baby, milkman, send her home to me.
Randy Newman
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.
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
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
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
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
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
Short people got no reason to live.
Randy Newman
I like to write my lyrics on clay tablets.
Randy Newman
We don't know our ass from a hole in the ground.
Randy Newman
I like the idea of taking a true classic written by a true genius and essentially destroying it!
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.
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 hate having to wait. I've got the thing done. I just want to see what happens.
Randy Newman
