More quotes by 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
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
If 20,000 people start to sing, you tend to go along with it.
Tom Petty
Most things I worry about never happen anyway.
Tom Petty
There was rock and roll across the dial, when I think of her it makes me smile.

As we celebrate mediocrity, all the boys upstairs want to see. How much you'll pay for what you used to get for free.
Tom Petty
What I've learned about marriage: You need to have each other's back you have to be a kind of team going through life.
Tom Petty
I should have known right then it was too good to last, God, it's such a drag when you're livin' in the past
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

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'm learning to fly, but I ain't got wings. Coming down is the hardest thing.
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
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
She's a good girl, crazy about Elvis, loves horses, and her boyfriend, too.
Tom Petty
I like a good beer. Of course, I'll drink a bad one too. Let no person thirst for lack of real ale! Thank god for long-necked bottles, the angel's remedy.
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
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
Yeah, the world would swing if I were king. Can I help it if I still dream time to time?
Tom Petty
But not me, baby, I've got you to save me.
Tom Petty
