More quotes by Tom Petty
If you don't run, you rust.
Tom Petty
If 20,000 people start to sing, you tend to go along with it.
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've never had any idea that what I like would resonate with the audience, and I'm pleasantly surprised when it does.
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
Yeah, the world would swing if I were king. Can I help it if I still dream time to time?
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
Running down a dream... working on a mystery... going wherever it leads.
Tom Petty
Good loving is hard to find, you got lucky babe, when I found you.
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
There was rock and roll across the dial, when I think of her it makes me smile.
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
If you're not getting older, you're dead.
Tom Petty
Last dance with Mary Jane One more time to kill the pain I feel summer creepin' in and I'm Tired of this town again
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 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
I would never put my songs in a commercial.
Tom Petty
He don't wanna change, what don't need to change.
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
In a world that keeps on pushing me around, I'm gonna stand my ground, and I won't back down.
