Random number being generated 60 times when I only want one.

Ok, first off I’m a Unity noob and only somewhat experienced with programming in general, AND I’ve been awake for ~30 hours. This is probably a dumb question but I can’t figure out what the problem is. The code is:

function Start () {
      var x : int = Random.Range(0,11);
      print (x);
}

I want this to make one random number (0 through 10), store it in x, and print it to the screen. One time. I’m using it as part of a bigger script obviously, but everything else is commented out.

It prints 60 numbers instead of just one, and it’s really screwing up my stuff. I thought the things in the start function only executed once? When I put it in Update, it just keeps spamming numbers, and when I make it its own function, I still have to call it and it does the same thing. Any help would be appreciated, this is driving me crazy and it seems so simple.

The script must be attached to 60 things for that to happen, each Start function runs once.
