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

More quotes by 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
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
Melinda was mine 'til the time that I found her holding Jim, loving him.
Neil Diamond
She got the way to move me, Cherry, she got the way to groove me.
Neil Diamond
Home's the most excellent place of all.
Neil Diamond
When love is unkind, it is not love anymore.
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
Don't need to say please to no man for a happy tune.
Neil Diamond
I think I need to be married. Having a wife and family makes some sense out of all that I do, because I can't make any sense out of 20,000 adoring fans watching me for two hours.
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
He aint heavy, he's my brother.
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 I am not writing, I'm dying.
Neil Diamond
Well, I Am... I Said was a very difficult song, very difficult because I really had to spend a lot of time thinking about what I was before the song was written.
Neil Diamond
Crackling Rosie make me smile. God, if it lasts for an hour that's alright, to set the world right. Find us a dream that don't ask no questions.
Neil Diamond
Shilo, when I was young, I used to call you name.
Neil Diamond
Free, only want to be free, we huddle close, hang on to a dream.
Neil Diamond
You're alive, you might as well be glad.
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
Brooklyn is not the easiest place to grow up in, although I wouldn't change that experience for anything.
