You're alive, you might as well be glad.
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
Image
I communicate with fans on Twitter. I enjoy the ability to impulsively write something and ship it out to the fans and fellow tweeters out there.
Neil Diamond
Image
When love is unkind, it is not love anymore.
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 thank the Lord for the night time.
Neil Diamond
Image
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
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
Well, I loved singing in the chorus, and there was some connection for me between gospel and choral music.
Neil Diamond
Image
Don't need to say please to no man for a happy tune.
Neil Diamond
Image
I fell in love with folk music at Surprise Lake Camp. It was the songs of Woody Guthrie and the Weavers.
Neil Diamond
Image
Brooklyn is not the easiest place to grow up in, although I wouldn't change that experience for anything.
Neil Diamond
Image
Some are born who never need them, Others still who never read them, signs.
Neil Diamond
Image
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.
Neil Diamond
Image
I was always trying to win the world, but somewhere I lost you.
Neil Diamond
Image
I do have a large audience overseas, and I want to continue to be an international artist.
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 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
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.

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