I thought love was more or less a giving thing. Seems the more I gave, the less I got.
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.

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.

I do have a large audience overseas, and I want to continue to be an international artist.

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.

Brooklyn is not the easiest place to grow up in, although I wouldn't change that experience for anything.
Neil Diamond
Image
While the sun God will may your day, sing as a song in search of a voice that is silent, and the one God will make for your way.
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

When I am not writing, I'm dying.

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.
