If I were to die tomorrow, I think they'd say Newman 56, composer of the hit song, Short People. Jumped off a mountain today.

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.

I've always had a lot of respect from the people I respected.

It's funny; people get so doctrinaire about music. It should be the last thing you don't have an open mind about.

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.
