More quotes by 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
Songs are life in 80 words or less.
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
I thought love was more or less a giving thing. Seems the more I gave, the less I got.
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
When love is unkind, it is not love anymore.
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
Then come and as we lay, beside this sleepy glade, there I will sing to you my Longfellow serenade.
Neil Diamond

Neil Diamond

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
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
I have a lot of confidence, but little Self-Esteem. This has given me a tremendous creative spark because it forced me to keep proving myself.
Neil Diamond
I followed all life's pleasures wherever they would lead, but someone I can treasure is all I really need.
Neil Diamond
Melinda was mine 'til the time that I found her holding Jim, loving him.
Neil Diamond
He aint heavy, he's my brother.
Neil Diamond
You're alive, you might as well be glad.
Neil Diamond
