More quotes by Tom Petty
Most things I worry about never happen anyway.
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
'Free Fallin'' is a very good song. Maybe it would be one of my favorites if it hadn't become this huge anthem. But I'm grateful that people like it.
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
I love history, doesn't matter what era, I'm fascinated.
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
Where the sky begins, the horizon ends, despite the best intentions.
Tom Petty
Most magic is a trick, an illusion. But [when The Beatles played the Ed Sullivan Show], this was real. Man oh man, was it real.
Tom Petty
My sister got lucky, married a yuppie, and took him for all he was worth. Now she's a swinger dating a singer, I can't decide which is worse.
Tom Petty
Lord, please watch over all these lost children born to chase the hurricane.
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
She's a good girl, crazy about Elvis, loves horses, and her boyfriend, too.
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
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
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
Running down a dream... working on a mystery... going wherever it leads.
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
I think to be successful you have to work really hard but you also have to have a little bit of luck.
Tom Petty
If you look around at America, that's one of its biggest problems is you have corporations that can never be pleased at a profit.
Tom Petty
If you don't run, you rust.
Tom Petty
