It's very hard to get rich and famous at a young age and handle it well.
Randy Newman
Image
I like Public Enemy a great deal.
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
Image
I like the idea of taking a true classic written by a true genius and essentially destroying it!
Randy Newman
Image
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
Image
I hate having to wait. I've got the thing done. I just want to see what happens.
Randy Newman
Image
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
Image
College men from L.S.U., went in dumb, come out dumb, too.
Randy Newman
Image
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
Image
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.

Image
Still, it's clear that there are lots of people out there who are uncomfortable [about racism]. The Civil War was a long time ago but there are aspects of it that remain unsettled.
Randy Newman
Image
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
Image
I'd like to explain why you fine young men had to be blown apart to defend this mud hole.
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.
Randy Newman
Image
Who would want to break into [the music business]? It's like a bank that's already been robbed.
Randy Newman
Image
We don't know our ass from a hole in the ground.
Randy Newman
Image
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.

I've always had a lot of respect from the people I respected.
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.

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.
