She got the way to move me, Cherry, she got the way to groove me.
Neil Diamond
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
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

Being lost is worth the being found.
Neil Diamond
I'm lucky. Hard work is the key, but luck plays a part.
Neil Diamond
Home's the most excellent place of all.
Neil Diamond
When you're on a merry-go-round, you miss a lot of the scenery.
Neil Diamond
Songs are so all-encompassing they're the joys and sorrows and pacing of life.
Neil Diamond
I was always interested in science, and pre-med was arespectable thing to do while I ursued my songwriting.
Neil Diamond
Some are born who never need them, Others still who never read them, signs.
