More quotes by Tom Petty
You get in there, you get the job done and you get the hell out.
Tom Petty
Yeah and it's over before you know it It all goes by so fast Yeah the bad nights take forever And the good nights don't ever seem to last
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
I've always had a great love for the blues.
Tom Petty
But not me, baby, I've got you to save me.
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. And I think a lot of these young kids are going to have to learn the hard way before they realize that you can actually do some damage if you're being careless or frivolous in what you're saying.
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
You believe what you want to believe. You see, you don't have to live like a refugee.
Tom Petty
Whatever you're looking for, don't come around here no more.
Tom Petty

Tom Petty
We haven't always been boy scouts, but we never lost sight of the music, Let me remind you that this ain't the end.
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
The waiting is the hardest part, every day you get one more yard. You take it on faith, you take it to the heart, the waiting is hardest part.
Tom Petty
Running down a dream... working on a mystery... going wherever it leads.
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 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
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
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
Take back your insurance, baby, nothing is guaranteed. Take back your acid rain, let your TV bleed.
Tom Petty
