When I first started, I worked with three chords in every bar, but I found that tied me down - I'm not a chord-change writer, I'm a songwriter.

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
Image
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
Image
Shame, it comes in every size, touches many lives, knocks on many doors.
Neil Diamond
Image
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

When you're on a merry-go-round, you miss a lot of the scenery.
Neil Diamond
Image
It's very difficult for me to say 'I love you' but to sing 'I love you' for me is easier.
Neil Diamond
Image
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
Image
Love is still a simple act of faith, and a faithful heart is always worth the wait.

Don't need to say please to no man for a happy tune.
