More quotes by 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
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
Short people got no reason to live.

You keep wondering whether people will see that Barack Obama is a liar and not very bright.
Randy Newman
It's very hard to get rich and famous at a young age and handle it well.

Most of my songs are about insensitivity of some kind.
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
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 hate having to wait. I've got the thing done. I just want to see what happens.
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
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'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
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'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
I like Public Enemy a great deal.
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
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
College men from L.S.U., went in dumb, come out dumb, too.

Don't forget to bring that little blonde haired girl along. You know the one, love to watch her jump up and down.
