I'm barely prolific and incredibly lazy.
Tom Petty
I never could have dreamed that her heart was so wicked, but I keep coming back because it's so hard to kick it.
Tom Petty
A rebel without a clue.
Tom Petty
I don't treat the band like I'm above them or that they're a hired hand for me. We've never worked that way. So I'm a team player. I would be very uncomfortable having to do this alone.
Tom Petty
I love history, doesn't matter what era, I'm fascinated.
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
He don't wanna change, what don't need to change.
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
It just seems to useless to have to work so hard, and nothing ever really seem to come from it.
Tom Petty
We haven't always been boy scouts, but we never lost sight of the music, Let me remind you that this ain't the end.
Tom Petty
In a world that keeps on pushing me around, I'm gonna stand my ground, and I won't back down.
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
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
Whatever you're looking for, don't come around here no more.
Tom Petty
I'm not trying to be cool. I have a problem with lights. I have one eye that's become super-sensitive to lighting, so I do wear sunglasses quite a bit.
Tom Petty
And the days went by like paper in the wind. Everything changed, then changed again. It's hard to find a friend. It's hard to find a friend.
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
Every verse a diamond, every chorus gold, the sound was my salvation. It was only everything, before money became king.
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
We don't really make bad records, though some people might like some more than others. And we have never really done a bad show. So I think in a way maybe we've been taken for granted.
Tom Petty
