More quotes by Tom Petty
And the days went by like paper in the wind. Everything changed, then changed again. It's hard to find a friend. It's hard to find a friend.
Tom Petty
If you're not getting older, you're dead.
Tom Petty
That's stupid. You couldn't pay me to go. I'm not oversimplifying it. That's what's going on. I don't think it would be any fun without the drugs. It's a drug party.
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 like making money like anybody else, and I'm paid well, but I think there is a point at which you can out-price your audience or your base.
Tom Petty
I'm not exactly a guy who makes new friends easily.
Tom Petty
I never could have dreamed that her heart was so wicked, but I keep coming back because it's so hard to kick it.
Tom Petty
Oh yeah, alright, take it easy baby, make it last all night. She was an American Girl.
Tom Petty
She grew up hard and she grew up fast, in the age of television.
Tom Petty
If 20,000 people start to sing, you tend to go along with it.
Tom Petty
Bring me a girl, they're always the best. You put 'em on stage, and you have 'em undress.
Tom Petty
Way up in the nosebleeds we watched him on the screen, they'd hung between the billboards so cheaper seats could see.
Tom Petty
I want to be successful. Not just money. Just making a successful record and a successful show... I could feel successful without selling a million records.
Tom Petty
As we celebrate mediocrity, all the boys upstairs want to see. How much you'll pay for what you used to get for free.
Tom Petty
Where the sky begins, the horizon ends, despite the best intentions.
Tom Petty
George Harrison was the kind of guy who wasn’t going to leave until he hugged you for five minutes and told you how much he loved you.
Tom Petty
What I've learned about marriage: You need to have each other's back you have to be a kind of team going through life.
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
I'm more interested in what I'm going to leave behind me than in making a big hit record. I've refined what I do for a long time. If getting better at it means it goes over the heads of those who only wanted to party, then so be it.
Tom Petty
I'm barely prolific and incredibly lazy.
Tom Petty
