More quotes by 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
When love is unkind, it is not love anymore.
Neil Diamond
Free, only want to be free, we huddle close, hang on to a dream.
Neil Diamond
I am, I said to no one there and no one heard at all, not even a chair.
Neil Diamond
Then come and as we lay, beside this sleepy glade, there I will sing to you my Longfellow serenade.
Neil Diamond
I was always trying to win the world, but somewhere I lost you.
Neil Diamond
Hands, touching hands, reaching out, touching me, touching you.
Neil Diamond
I like having a woman. I like having someone to come home to, to make all of the hard work feel worth it. I need someone with me. And I want someone.
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
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've always thought of music as something which gives the words their flight and their wings and the music often comes first, although sometimes I'll have a concept, a title idea, a lyric idea that I want to write and the lyric will come first.
Neil Diamond
Well, I loved singing in the chorus, and there was some connection for me between gospel and choral music.
Neil Diamond
The art of love is who you share it with.
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
Shilo, when I was young, I used to call you name.
Neil Diamond
I used to go to my kids' soccer games and I was the only parent who wasn't screaming, because I'd have to do a show that night. It was hard. Moms and dads get more emotional at those soccer and Little League games than at a professional game.
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
You like to think that it's something you created, but secretly you know that you had some kind of help, or somebody gave this to you.
Neil Diamond
I don't feel I have to write deep and meaningful songs they can be light and meaningless. It has to do with the place I am in my life, a really good place.
Neil Diamond
Don't need to say please to no man for a happy tune.
Neil Diamond
