More quotes by 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
'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 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.
Tom Petty

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
We could move catalog, if he'd only die quicker.
Tom Petty
I'm learning to fly, but I ain't got wings. Coming down is the hardest thing.

Tom Petty
Running down a dream... working on a mystery... going wherever it leads.
Tom Petty
In a world that keeps on pushing me around, I'm gonna stand my ground, and I won't back down.
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
Eddie waited 'til he finished high school, he went to Hollywood, got a tattoo.
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 would never put my songs in a commercial.
Tom Petty
Even the losers get lucky sometimes!
Tom Petty
But not me, baby, I've got you to save me.
Tom Petty
If you look around at America, that's one of its biggest problems is you have corporations that can never be pleased at a profit.
Tom Petty
My sister got lucky, married a yuppie, and took him for all he was worth. Now she's a swinger dating a singer, I can't decide which is worse.
Tom Petty
Oh yeah, alright, take it easy baby, make it last all night. She was an American Girl.
