Zitat des Tages von 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.
I always thought my best album was 'Trouble in Paradise.' I was the happiest with that one.
Learn about the world, the way it works, any kind of science and anthropology, it's really an interesting place we live in. Evolution is a really fantastic idea, even more than the idea of God I think.
I'm pretty proud of my film music in general.
I started recording because I was always complaining about the records that I was getting of my songs. At least if I did them and messed them up, I wouldn't have anyone else to blame.
Mostly, I don't write overtly personal stuff.
If we'd had another carefree 70's, 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.
Most of my songs are about insensitivity of some kind.
I've worked with a band, and it's nice to have someone to travel around with, but I didn't like it as well on stage.
I like the idea of taking a true classic written by a true genius and destroying it essentially! I like the idea of bringing it down to earth a bit - and even a bit lower than that.
But I don't want to sing everything out of the side of my mouth, I want people to understand what I mean.
I am not overlooking any mail. I'm looking at all of it. I even wrote back to the Viagra people.
I think the tax cut is ridiculous but so am I.
Stay away from drugs. They're not worth it. I've tried, but there's none of them that's worth it.
I like Public Enemy a great deal.
