More quotes by Tom Petty
He [George Harrison] told me he really, really admired John [Lennon]. He probably wanted John's acceptance pretty bad, you know?
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 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
Bring me a girl, they're always the best. You put 'em on stage, and you have 'em undress.
Tom Petty
But not me, baby, I've got you to save me.
Tom Petty
'Free Fallin'' is a very good song. Maybe it would be one of my favorites if it hadn't become this huge anthem. But I'm grateful that people like it.
Tom Petty
I'm not any happier anywhere than when I'm in the studio. I'm over the moon about it. It keeps me young, it keeps me feeling like I have some purpose.
Tom Petty
I'm learning to fly, but I ain't got wings. Coming down is the hardest thing.
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 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

Tom Petty
Lord, please watch over all these lost children born to chase the hurricane.
Tom Petty
I would never put my songs in a commercial.
Tom Petty
Running down a dream... working on a mystery... going wherever it leads.
Tom Petty
Every verse a diamond, every chorus gold, the sound was my salvation. It was only everything, before money became king.
Tom Petty
I had the radio on, I was driving. Trees flew by, me and Del were singing, Little Runaway, I was flying.
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
You get in there, you get the job done and you get the hell out.
Tom Petty
We could move catalog, if he'd only die quicker.
Tom Petty
Eddie waited 'til he finished high school, he went to Hollywood, got a tattoo.
