More quotes by Tom Petty
If you look around at America, that's one of its biggest problems is you have corporations that can never be pleased at a profit.
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. And I think a lot of these young kids are going to have to learn the hard way before they realize that you can actually do some damage if you're being careless or frivolous in what you're saying.
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 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
There was rock and roll across the dial, when I think of her it makes me smile.
Tom Petty
Gonna wind it up on my guitar. Gonna make that silver sing.
Tom Petty
When I decided to be a musician I reckoned that that was going to be the way of less profit, less money. I was sort of giving up the idea of making a lot of money. It was what I loved to do. I would have done it anyway. If I'd had to work at Taco Bell I'd have still been out at night trying to play music.
Tom Petty
Even the losers get lucky sometimes. Even the losers keep a little bit of pride. They get lucky sometimes.
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
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
Go after what you really love and find a way to make that work for you, and then you'll be a happy person.
Tom Petty
I think watching the TV news is bad for you. It is bad for your physical health and your mental health.
Tom Petty
Whatever you're looking for, don't come around here no more.
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.
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
We could move catalog, if he'd only die quicker.
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
Let's get to the point Let's roll another joint
Tom Petty
I love history, doesn't matter what era, I'm fascinated.
Tom Petty
I wouldn't want to get stuck being an oldie-goldie group, but I don't mind. I think all the trouble you go through these days to go to one of these concerts, I think I owe them a bit of what they came to hear.
