Neil Diamond
I do have a large audience overseas, and I want to continue to be an international artist.
Neil Diamond
Hands, touching hands, reaching out, touching me, touching you.
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 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'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
The art of love is who you share it with.
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

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
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
You're alive, you might as well be glad.
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
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.
Neil Diamond
I thank the Lord for the night time.
Neil Diamond
I am, I cried. I am, I said. And I am lost.
Neil Diamond
Don't need to say please to no man for a happy tune.
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
Then come and as we lay, beside this sleepy glade, there I will sing to you my Longfellow serenade.
Neil Diamond
When I am not writing, I'm dying.
Neil Diamond
