More quotes by 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
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
Excuse me if I have/some place in my mind/where I go time to time.
Tom Petty
You believe what you want to believe. You see, you don't have to live like a refugee.

Tom Petty
I always tell my kids, Find something that you love and within that you'll find some job that you can do and you'll always be happy. You'll go to a job that you want to go to.
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 so tired of being tired. Sure as night will follow day most things I worry about will never happen anyway.
Tom Petty
Time to move on, time to get going. What lies ahead I have no way of knowing. But under my feet, baby, grass is growing.
Tom Petty
Lord, please watch over all these lost children born to chase the hurricane.
Tom Petty
I'm barely prolific and incredibly lazy.
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
