More quotes by Tom Petty
You believe what you want to believe. You see, you don't have to live like a refugee.
Tom Petty
I want to be successful. Not just money. Just making a successful record and a successful show... I could feel successful without selling a million records.
Tom Petty
I think watching the TV news is bad for you. It is bad for your physical health and your mental health.
Tom Petty
Whatever you're looking for, don't come around here no more.
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
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
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
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.

But not me, baby, I've got you to save me.
Tom Petty
George Harrison was the kind of guy who wasn’t going to leave until he hugged you for five minutes and told you how much he loved you.
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
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 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
Good loving is hard to find, you got lucky babe, when I found you.
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
He don't wanna change, what don't need to change.
Tom Petty
If you're not getting older, you're dead.
Tom Petty
I don't think it's a good attitude in your life to feel that you have to be rich to have self-esteem.
Tom Petty
I would never put my songs in a commercial.
Tom Petty
I should have known right then it was too good to last, God, it's such a drag when you're livin' in the past
