More quotes by 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 had the radio on, I was driving. Trees flew by, me and Del were singing, Little Runaway, I was flying.
Tom Petty
I'm not trying to be cool. I have a problem with lights. I have one eye that's become super-sensitive to lighting, so I do wear sunglasses quite a bit.
Tom Petty
Yeah, the world would swing if I were king. Can I help it if I still dream time to time?
Tom Petty
I'm barely prolific and incredibly lazy.
Tom Petty
I like making money like anybody else, and I'm paid well, but I think there is a point at which you can out-price your audience or your base.
Tom Petty
I never could have dreamed that her heart was so wicked, but I keep coming back because it's so hard to kick it.
Tom Petty
Running down a dream... working on a mystery... going wherever it leads.
Tom Petty
She grew up hard and she grew up fast, in the age of television.
Tom Petty
I remember things being more clearer, at one time things were more real.
Tom Petty
You belong among the wildflowers You belong in a boat out at sea You belong with your love on your arm You belong somewhere you feel free
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'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
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
Whatever you're looking for, don't come around here no more.
Tom Petty
I have never been comfortable being the front man.
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 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
We don't really make bad records, though some people might like some more than others. And we have never really done a bad show. So I think in a way maybe we've been taken for granted.
Tom Petty
If you're not getting older, you're dead.
Tom Petty
