More quotes by 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
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
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
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
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
I'd like to explain why you fine young men had to be blown apart to defend this mud hole.
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
You keep wondering whether people will see that Barack Obama is a liar and not very bright.
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
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
I am half a man, holy Jesus, what a drag.
Randy Newman
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
Most of my songs are about insensitivity of some kind.
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
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
Short people got no reason to live.
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
It takes a whole lot of medicine for me to pretend I am somebody else.
Randy Newman
