He got drunk last night, kicked Mama down the stairs. But I'm alright, so I don't care.
Randy NewmanI think in most cases, unless you're writing about a character who is garrulous, you say what you've got to say and then get out. Those little conjunctions, those little turnaround words help you do it. That's the way I like to write: I get rid of things rather than add them.
Randy NewmanI 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 NewmanI like the idea of taking a true classic written by a true genius and essentially destroying it!
