Home's the most excellent place of all.
Neil Diamond
Songs are life in 80 words or less.
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 got worries by the ton, getting cancer's only one. Over taxed and alimonied, tired of eating fried baloney.
Neil Diamond
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.
Neil Diamond
Hands, touching hands, reaching out, touching me, touching 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
Being lost is worth the being found.
Neil Diamond
I fell in love with folk music at Surprise Lake Camp. It was the songs of Woody Guthrie and the Weavers.
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
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
I like having a woman. I like having someone to come home to, to make all of the hard work feel worth it. I need someone with me. And I want someone.
Neil Diamond
The art of love is who you share it with.
Neil Diamond
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
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
Very often the music comes first.
Neil Diamond
When you're on a merry-go-round, you miss a lot of the scenery.
Neil Diamond
Love is still a simple act of faith, and a faithful heart is always worth the wait.
Neil Diamond
Free, only want to be free, we huddle close, hang on to a dream.
Neil Diamond
Don't need to say please to no man for a happy tune.
Neil Diamond
