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.

I thought love was more or less a giving thing. Seems the more I gave, the less I got.
Neil Diamond

Neil Diamond
Image
Being lost is worth the being found.
Neil Diamond
Image
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
Image
I was always interested in science, and pre-med was arespectable thing to do while I ursued my songwriting.
Neil Diamond
Image
Home's the most excellent place of all.
Neil Diamond
Image
Acting is a specific discipline. Just because you can sing doesn't mean you have the sensitivities of being an actor.
Neil Diamond

I don't like all of the music to be serious and deadly.
