I don't treat the band like I'm above them or that they're a hired hand for me. We've never worked that way. So I'm a team player. I would be very uncomfortable having to do this alone.

More quotes by Tom Petty
The waiting is the hardest part, every day you get one more yard. You take it on faith, you take it to the heart, the waiting is hardest part.
Tom Petty
We don't really make bad records, though some people might like some more than others. And we have never really done a bad show. So I think in a way maybe we've been taken for granted.
Tom Petty
Even the losers get lucky sometimes. Even the losers keep a little bit of pride. They get lucky sometimes.
Tom Petty
You belong among the wildflowers You belong in a boat out at sea You belong with your love on your arm You belong somewhere you feel free

Tom Petty
I've always had a great love for the blues.
Tom Petty
I don't believe in censorship, but I do believe that an artist has to take some moral responsibility for what he or she is putting out there. And I think a lot of these young kids are going to have to learn the hard way before they realize that you can actually do some damage if you're being careless or frivolous in what you're saying.
Tom Petty
Redemption comes to those who wait, forgiveness is the key.
Tom Petty
I have never been comfortable being the front man.
Tom Petty
God, it's so painful when something that's so close is still so far out of reach.
Tom Petty
I'm actually better on the guitar than when I started, I think, because I've had so much time with it and I still practice and I love to do it and I love to sing.
Tom Petty
Bring me a girl, they're always the best. You put 'em on stage, and you have 'em undress.
Tom Petty
I'm certainly not a Robin Hood, I'm not that way. I don't want to come through, burn everybody for $200 a ticket and then they can't afford to come see me again. Plus, I just don't think it's right. I don't think we need that much money. I just do what seems like the logical thing to do.
Tom Petty
I would never put my songs in a commercial.
Tom Petty
Good loving is hard to find, you got lucky babe, when I found you.
