More quotes by Neil Diamond
Some are born who never need them, Others still who never read them, signs.
Neil Diamond
I may have a little bit of a talent for music, but I've learnt to tap into my own self when I write. When I put the drill bit inside my heart, sometimes I come up with something light and frothy, sometimes with something deep and painful, but it's great to connect with the audience.
Neil Diamond
My voice is unadorned. I don't try for perfection. I try to be honest and truthful and soulful with the voice I have. If I make mistakes in notes, or there are cracks in notes, I don't fix them. That's the way it is.
Neil Diamond
When I need my wife or when I need companionship or someone to talk to, I need it, like, now. So my wife will have to give up whatever she's doing at that moment to tend to my needs. And in the same way, I would tend to hers. That's not such an easy thing to do.
Neil Diamond
Home's the most excellent place of all.
Neil Diamond
Maybe tonight, maybe tonight by the fire all alone you and I. Nothing around but the sound of heart and your sighs.
Neil Diamond
Well, I loved singing in the chorus, and there was some connection for me between gospel and choral music.
Neil Diamond
As I said before, stones to me is meant things that hurt people, things that cause pain and thats what this song is about.
Neil Diamond
You're alive, you might as well be glad.
Neil Diamond
My writing is different. I think it's better. I think it's deeper. But, strangely enough, it covers a lot of the old ground. Maybe it says it in a more sophisticated way ... but I [have written] about basically the same subjects over the years.
Neil Diamond
When love is unkind, it is not love anymore.
Neil Diamond
I've spent my whole life trying to find out who I am, so I could express that through the music.
Neil Diamond
Don't need to say please to no man for a happy tune.
Neil Diamond
When I first started, I worked with three chords in every bar, but I found that tied me down - I'm not a chord-change writer, I'm a songwriter.
Neil Diamond
I don't pamper my voice. It's part of my body. If my body is rested and healthy, my voice is rested and healthy.
Neil Diamond
Acting is a specific discipline. Just because you can sing doesn't mean you have the sensitivities of being an actor.
Neil Diamond
Touch a man who can't walk up right, and that lame man, he's gonna fly.
Neil Diamond
Being lost is worth the being found.
Neil Diamond
When you're on a merry-go-round, you miss a lot of the scenery.
Neil Diamond
It's very difficult for me to say 'I love you' but to sing 'I love you' for me is easier.
Neil Diamond
