More quotes by Tom Petty
At twilight time the smog makes a rainbow.
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
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
I'm learning to fly, but I ain't got wings. Coming down is the hardest thing.
Tom Petty
Take back your insurance, baby, nothing is guaranteed. Take back your acid rain, let your TV bleed.
Tom Petty
I've always had a great love for the blues.
Tom Petty
But not me, baby, I've got you to save me.
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
Where the sky begins, the horizon ends, despite the best intentions.
Tom Petty
If 20,000 people start to sing, you tend to go along with it.
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
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
I think to be successful you have to work really hard but you also have to have a little bit of luck.
Tom Petty
Somewhere, somehow, somebody must have kicked you around some. Tell me, why you want to lay there, revel in your abandon?
Tom Petty
I'm so tired of being tired. Sure as night will follow day most things I worry about will never happen anyway.
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.
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
Most things I worry about never happen anyway.
Tom Petty
If you're not getting older, you're dead.
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
