More quotes by Tom Petty
Let's get to the point Let's roll another joint
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
Whatever you're looking for, don't come around here no more.
Tom Petty
It's funny how the music industry is enraged about the Internet and the way things are copied without being paid for. But you know why people steal the music? Because they can't afford the music.
Tom Petty
Running down a dream... working on a mystery... going wherever it leads.
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
I developed a problem with authority. Any time that authority was what I interpreted as being unjust, I stood up to it, and that became my personality.
Tom Petty
You get in there, you get the job done and you get the hell out.
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
If 20,000 people start to sing, you tend to go along with it.
Tom Petty
I'm barely prolific and incredibly lazy.
Tom Petty
Yeah, the world would swing if I were king. Can I help it if I still dream time to time?
Tom Petty
Buy me a drink, sing me a song take me as I come, cause I can't stay long.
Tom Petty
She's a good girl, crazy about Elvis, loves horses, and her boyfriend, too.
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
He [George Harrison] told me he really, really admired John [Lennon]. He probably wanted John's acceptance pretty bad, you know?
Tom Petty
I'm certainly not a Robin Hood, I'm not that way. I don't want to come through, burn everybody for $200 a ticket and then they can't afford to come see me again. Plus, I just don't think it's right. I don't think we need that much money. I just do what seems like the logical thing to do.
Tom Petty
George Harrison was the kind of guy who wasn’t going to leave until he hugged you for five minutes and told you how much he loved you.
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
It just seems to useless to have to work so hard, and nothing ever really seem to come from it.
Tom Petty
