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
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
Image
I think I need to be married. Having a wife and family makes some sense out of all that I do, because I can't make any sense out of 20,000 adoring fans watching me for two hours.
Neil Diamond
Image
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
Image
Love is still a simple act of faith, and a faithful heart is always worth the wait.
Neil Diamond
Image
Hands, touching hands, reaching out, touching me, touching you.
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
Love on the rocks, ain't no surprise. Pour me a drink and I'll tell you some lies.
Neil Diamond
Image
I'm lucky. Hard work is the key, but luck plays a part.
Neil Diamond
Image
I got worries by the ton, getting cancer's only one. Over taxed and alimonied, tired of eating fried baloney.
Neil Diamond
Image
The art of love is who you share it with.
Neil Diamond
Image
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
Image
Some are born who never need them, Others still who never read them, signs.
Neil Diamond
Image
Melinda was mine 'til the time that I found her holding Jim, loving him.
Neil Diamond
Image
Songs are so all-encompassing they're the joys and sorrows and pacing of life.
Neil Diamond
Image
I am, I said to no one there and no one heard at all, not even a chair.
Neil Diamond
Image
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
I do have a large audience overseas, and I want to continue to be an international artist.
Neil Diamond
Image
Being lost is worth the being found.
Neil Diamond
Image
I've spent my whole life trying to find out who I am, so I could express that through the music.
