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.

I have a lot of confidence, but little Self-Esteem. This has given me a tremendous creative spark because it forced me to keep proving myself.
Neil Diamond
Image
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
Image
I was always trying to win the world, but somewhere I lost you.
Neil Diamond
Image
I got worries by the ton, getting cancer's only one. Over taxed and alimonied, tired of eating fried baloney.

The art of love is who you share it with.
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.

Love on the rocks, ain't no surprise. Pour me a drink and I'll tell you some lies.
Neil Diamond
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
When I am not writing, I'm dying.
Neil Diamond
Image
Then come and as we lay, beside this sleepy glade, there I will sing to you my Longfellow serenade.
Neil Diamond
Image
Touch a man who can't walk up right, and that lame man, he's gonna fly.
Neil Diamond
Image
Some are born who never need them, Others still who never read them, signs.
Neil Diamond
Image
I do have a large audience overseas, and I want to continue to be an international artist.
Neil Diamond
Image
Maybe tonight, maybe tonight by the fire all alone you and I. Nothing around but the sound of heart and your sighs.
Neil Diamond
Image
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
