More quotes by Neil Diamond
Very often the music comes first.
Neil Diamond
I used to go to my kids' soccer games and I was the only parent who wasn't screaming, because I'd have to do a show that night. It was hard. Moms and dads get more emotional at those soccer and Little League games than at a professional game.
Neil Diamond
Well, I Am... I Said was a very difficult song, very difficult because I really had to spend a lot of time thinking about what I was before the song was written.
Neil Diamond
Brooklyn is not the easiest place to grow up in, although I wouldn't change that experience for anything.
Neil Diamond
I was always trying to win the world, but somewhere I lost you.
Neil Diamond
Shilo, when I was young, I used to call you name.
Neil Diamond
I thought love was more or less a giving thing. Seems the more I gave, the less I got.
Neil Diamond
I followed all life's pleasures wherever they would lead, but someone I can treasure is all I really need.
Neil Diamond
Well, I loved singing in the chorus, and there was some connection for me between gospel and choral music.
Neil Diamond
Then come and as we lay, beside this sleepy glade, there I will sing to you my Longfellow serenade.
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
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
I thank the Lord for the night time.
Neil Diamond
When I am not writing, I'm dying.
Neil Diamond
I don't like all of the music to be serious and deadly.
Neil Diamond
She got the way to move me, Cherry, she got the way to groove me.
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
Song Sung Blue took a lot of compressing and refining, and it has one of my favorite lyrics.
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
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
