More quotes by 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'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
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
Lord, please watch over all these lost children born to chase the hurricane.
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
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
'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
He don't wanna change, what don't need to change.
Tom Petty
She's a good girl, crazy about Elvis, loves horses, and her boyfriend, too.
Tom Petty
As we celebrate mediocrity, all the boys upstairs want to see. How much you'll pay for what you used to get for free.
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
I think to be successful you have to work really hard but you also have to have a little bit of luck.
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
You belong among the wildflowers You belong in a boat out at sea You belong with your love on your arm You belong somewhere you feel free
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
There was rock and roll across the dial, when I think of her it makes me smile.
Tom Petty
If you stretch your imagination, I'll tell you all a tale, about a time when everything wasn't up for sale.
Tom Petty
Gonna wind it up on my guitar. Gonna make that silver sing.
Tom Petty
You get in there, you get the job done and you get the hell out.
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
