Tom Petty
I have never been comfortable being the front man.
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
Way up in the nosebleeds we watched him on the screen, they'd hung between the billboards so cheaper seats could see.
Tom Petty
That's stupid. You couldn't pay me to go. I'm not oversimplifying it. That's what's going on. I don't think it would be any fun without the drugs. It's a drug party.
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
Redemption comes to those who wait, forgiveness is the key.
