More quotes by 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
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
If 20,000 people start to sing, you tend to go along with it.
Tom Petty
Buy me a drink, sing me a song take me as I come, cause I can't stay long.
Tom Petty
I'm barely prolific and incredibly lazy.
Tom Petty
Even the losers get lucky sometimes!
Tom Petty
But not me, baby, I've got you to save me.
Tom Petty
Bring me a girl, they're always the best. You put 'em on stage, and you have 'em undress.
Tom Petty
At twilight time the smog makes a rainbow.
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
I've always had a great love for the blues.
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
It's funny how the music industry is enraged about the Internet and the way things are copied without being paid for. But you know why people steal the music? Because they can't afford the music.
Tom Petty
Good loving is hard to find, you got lucky babe, when I found you.
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
Even the losers get lucky sometimes. Even the losers keep a little bit of pride. They get lucky sometimes.
Tom Petty
Gonna wind it up on my guitar. Gonna make that silver sing.
Tom Petty
Time to move on, time to get going. What lies ahead I have no way of knowing. But under my feet, baby, grass is growing.
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 any happier anywhere than when I'm in the studio. I'm over the moon about it. It keeps me young, it keeps me feeling like I have some purpose.
Tom Petty
