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
I thought love was more or less a giving thing. Seems the more I gave, the less I got.
Neil Diamond
Love is still a simple act of faith, and a faithful heart is always worth the wait.
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
Being lost is worth the being found.
Neil Diamond

Neil Diamond
I was always interested in science, and pre-med was arespectable thing to do while I ursued my songwriting.
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 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
Well, I loved singing in the chorus, and there was some connection for me between gospel and choral music.
Neil Diamond
I thank the Lord for the night time.
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
