“In looking back at [some] songs, you would think that I’m a loner. But a lot of it just has to do with what’s happening on the day I’m writing the song. For instance, I woke up cranky this morningand wrote a cranky song—that doesn’t encompass everything that I am as a person. It’s just a part of me.” Related: Neil Diamond on His New Album With the...
“I was just happy that [the Monkees] recorded my record. For me, it meant I could eat for another couple of weeks!”
“I didn’t think it was a hit. It didn’t sound like anything that was on the radio at the time. You cast a song out to the masses and just hope they take it to their hearts. The truth is, you never do know what songs are going to be hits. I’m amazed what happens to songs once they get out.”

“I didn’t even know [that the melody mirrors a] Mozart piece until the year after I wrote it. Then I put the two and two together. I studied classical music for almost two years just because I saw this kid in my high school playing music in the assembly. I immediately changed from what I was doing, which was studying guitar, to piano and studying t...
“To me, it’s a romanticsong. There are elements of the sexual thing, but I don’t think I was thinking of sex when I was writing it. I was just thinking of writing something beautiful.”
“It was the story of my grandparents coming to America for that freedom. My grandmother‘Bubbe Molly’came to America in the steerage section of a Holland America ship when she was 12, escaping Jewish oppression in Russia. My other grandparents had similar stories from Italy and Poland. It’s a musical expression of being free.”
“That was a co-write with Burt Bacharach and Carole Bayer Sager. We were in New York and we went to the movie [E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial] just because everybody was talking about it at the time. I just loved the movie and said, ‘Wouldn’t it be great if we had a song?’ We hadn’t been asked to write one. But after the song was released, I did see [d...
“All the time, I think about that. I love Randy Newman. Any song he has ever written, I wish I wrote it.”
