More quotes by Tom Petty

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
He [George Harrison] told me he really, really admired John [Lennon]. He probably wanted John's acceptance pretty bad, you know?
Tom Petty
What I've learned about marriage: You need to have each other's back you have to be a kind of team going through life.
