More quotes by 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
Free, only want to be free, we huddle close, hang on to a dream.
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
I followed all life's pleasures wherever they would lead, but someone I can treasure is all I really need.
Neil Diamond
I fell in love with folk music at Surprise Lake Camp. It was the songs of Woody Guthrie and the Weavers.
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
Then come and as we lay, beside this sleepy glade, there I will sing to you my Longfellow serenade.
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
I thought love was more or less a giving thing. Seems the more I gave, the less I got.
Neil Diamond
September morn Do you remember how we danced that night away Two lovers playing scenes from some romantic play September morning still can make me feel this way.
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
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
I Am... I Said is a very complicated song and its complicated probably because my feelings were very complicated when I wrote it.
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
Very often the music comes first.
Neil Diamond
I am, I cried. I am, I said. And I am lost.
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
Songs are life in 80 words or less.
Neil Diamond
He aint heavy, he's my brother.
Neil Diamond
Well, I loved singing in the chorus, and there was some connection for me between gospel and choral music.
