More quotes by 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
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
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
They don't respect us, so let's surprise them, we'll drop the big one, pulverize them.
Randy Newman
Most of my songs are about insensitivity of some kind.
Randy Newman
College men from L.S.U., went in dumb, come out dumb, too.

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
You keep wondering whether people will see that Barack Obama is a liar and not very bright.
Randy Newman
I hate having to wait. I've got the thing done. I just want to see what happens.
Randy Newman
I like to write my lyrics on clay tablets.
Randy Newman
Short people got no reason to live.
Randy Newman
Things aren't black and white in the world.
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
We don't know our ass from a hole in the ground.
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
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
This one guy's wife is such a pretty brown thing, that I'm liable to give her a poke or two. Whaddaya think of that?
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
It's very hard to get rich and famous at a young age and handle it well.
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.
