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
Who would want to break into [the music business]? It's like a bank that's already been robbed.

We don't know our ass from a hole in the ground.

I am half a man, holy Jesus, what a drag.
