Yeah, the world would swing if I were king. Can I help it if I still dream time to time?
Tom Petty
I love history, doesn't matter what era, I'm fascinated.
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 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
Running down a dream... working on a mystery... going wherever it leads.
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

Tom Petty
I'm barely prolific and incredibly lazy.
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

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
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
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
You believe what you want to believe
Tom Petty
I would never put my songs in a commercial.
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
She's a good girl, crazy about Elvis, loves horses, and her boyfriend, too.
Tom Petty
You believe what you want to believe. You see, you don't have to live like a refugee.
Tom Petty
Go after what you really love and find a way to make that work for you, and then you'll be a happy person.
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
