More quotes by Tom Petty
Last dance with Mary Jane One more time to kill the pain I feel summer creepin' in and I'm Tired of this town again
Tom Petty
There was no use pretending, no magic left to hear, all the music gave me was a craving for lite beer.
Tom Petty
When I decided to be a musician I reckoned that that was going to be the way of less profit, less money. I was sort of giving up the idea of making a lot of money. It was what I loved to do. I would have done it anyway. If I'd had to work at Taco Bell I'd have still been out at night trying to play music.
Tom Petty
Yeah, the world would swing if I were king. Can I help it if I still dream time to time?
Tom Petty
I developed a problem with authority. Any time that authority was what I interpreted as being unjust, I stood up to it, and that became my personality.
Tom Petty
You get in there, you get the job done and you get the hell out.
Tom Petty
Every verse a diamond, every chorus gold, the sound was my salvation. It was only everything, before money became king.
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
Somewhere, somehow, somebody must have kicked you around some. Tell me, why you want to lay there, revel in your abandon?
Tom Petty
If you're not getting older, you're dead.
Tom Petty
Most magic is a trick, an illusion. But [when The Beatles played the Ed Sullivan Show], this was real. Man oh man, was it real.
Tom Petty
I wouldn't want to get stuck being an oldie-goldie group, but I don't mind. I think all the trouble you go through these days to go to one of these concerts, I think I owe them a bit of what they came to hear.
Tom Petty
There was rock and roll across the dial, when I think of her it makes me smile.
Tom Petty
I love history, doesn't matter what era, I'm fascinated.
Tom Petty
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.
Tom Petty
I think watching the TV news is bad for you. It is bad for your physical health and your mental health.
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
If you don't run, you rust.
Tom Petty
I think to be successful you have to work really hard but you also have to have a little bit of luck.
Tom Petty
Buy me a drink, sing me a song take me as I come, cause I can't stay long.
Tom Petty
