There was rock and roll across the dial, when I think of her it makes me smile.
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.

Music really isn’t supposed to be perfect. It’s all about people relating to each other and doing something that’s really from the soul. It must come from the soul.

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
You believe what you want to believe
