Randy Newman's quotes

• My music has a high irritation factor. I've always tried to say something. Eccentric lyrics about eccentric people. Often it was a joke. But I would plead guilty on the grounds that I prefer eccentricity to the bland.
• [on the Bush administration] The US and the world just didn't deserve these people. They're a good deal worse. They don't even know the rules.
• [on the underestimated value of compact discs and record stores, eclipsed by MP3's and the Internet] Did you ever try to autograph an I-Pod? I tried, once... which, for me, was plenty.
• Thank God for the potholes on memory lane.
• I think that The Simpsons (1989) is probably the funniest show in the history of television. Alf Clausen does a great job in a difficult situation. If I live long enough and they stay on the air they'll make fun of me some day.
• Stay away from drugs. They're not worth it. I've tried, but there's none of them that's worth it.
• I do movies because I love writing for orchestra though it scares me and the money is good. I can't make a living doing just albums, times are difficult now for geriatric artists.
