More quotes by 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
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 think to be successful you have to work really hard but you also have to have a little bit of luck.
Tom Petty
But not me, baby, I've got you to save me.
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
Somewhere, somehow, somebody must have kicked you around some. Tell me, why you want to lay there, revel in your abandon?
Tom Petty
At twilight time the smog makes a rainbow.
Tom Petty

Tom Petty
Go after what you really love and find a way to make that work for you, and then you'll be a happy person.
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
There was rock and roll across the dial, when I think of her it makes me smile.
Tom Petty
If you stretch your imagination, I'll tell you all a tale, about a time when everything wasn't up for sale.
Tom Petty
I'm learning to fly, but I ain't got wings. Coming down is the hardest thing.
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
Take back your insurance, baby, nothing is guaranteed. Take back your acid rain, let your TV bleed.
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
Even the losers get lucky sometimes!
Tom Petty
I remember things being more clearer, at one time things were more real.
Tom Petty
