Tom Petty
If you don't run, you rust.
Tom Petty
Music really isn’t supposed to be perfect. It’s all about people relating to each other and doing something that’s really from the soul. It must come from the soul.
Tom Petty
You get in there, you get the job done and you get the hell out.
Tom Petty
I'm barely prolific and incredibly lazy.
Tom Petty
Let's get to the point Let's roll another joint
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.
