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.

More quotes by 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 followed all life's pleasures wherever they would lead, but someone I can treasure is all I really need.
Neil Diamond
Melinda was mine 'til the time that I found her holding Jim, loving him.
Neil Diamond
Acting is a specific discipline. Just because you can sing doesn't mean you have the sensitivities of being an actor.
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 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
Maybe tonight, maybe tonight by the fire all alone you and I. Nothing around but the sound of heart and your sighs.
Neil Diamond
When love is unkind, it is not love anymore.
Neil Diamond
Songs are so all-encompassing they're the joys and sorrows and pacing of life.
Neil Diamond
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
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
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
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
Love on the rocks, ain't no surprise. Pour me a drink and I'll tell you some lies.
Neil Diamond
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 thank the Lord for the night time.
Neil Diamond
Then come and as we lay, beside this sleepy glade, there I will sing to you my Longfellow serenade.
Neil Diamond
The art of love is who you share it with.
Neil Diamond
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
I am, I cried. I am, I said. And I am lost.
Neil Diamond
