More quotes by Neil Diamond
I am, I cried. I am, I said. And I am lost.
Neil Diamond
I've spent my whole life trying to find out who I am, so I could express that through the music.
Neil Diamond
I thought love was more or less a giving thing. Seems the more I gave, the less I got.
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
Don't need to say please to no man for a happy tune.
Neil Diamond
I suppose that being moved to write a song is more applicable to me, I have to be moved, I have to have a reason to write a particular song.
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
He aint heavy, he's my brother.
Neil Diamond
Being lost is worth the being found.
Neil Diamond
Hands, touching hands, reaching out, touching me, touching you.
Neil Diamond
Well, I loved singing in the chorus, and there was some connection for me between gospel and choral music.
Neil Diamond
Maybe tonight, maybe tonight by the fire all alone you and I. Nothing around but the sound of heart and your sighs.
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
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
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 to no one there and no one heard at all, not even a chair.
Neil Diamond
I do have a large audience overseas, and I want to continue to be an international artist.
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 definitely don't feel like I'm 71. I feel like I did when I was - between 30 and 40. The body ages. The mind doesn't.
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
