Tom Petty

“The waiting is the hardest part.”

“You belong somewhere you feel free.”

“Music is probably the only real magic I have encountered in my life.”

“Even the losers get lucky sometimes.”

“Well, I won't back down. No, I won't back down. You can stand me up at the gates of hell, but I won't back down.”

“Most things I worry about never happen anyway.”

“Do something you really like, and hopefully it pays the rent. As far as I'm concerned, that's success.”

“I'm learning to fly, but I ain't got wings. Coming down is the hardest thing.”

“You and I will meet again, when we're least expecting it.”

“If you're not getting a good review, you're not stretching.”

“Music is the only thing that will give and give and give and not take.”

“Go after what you really love and find a way to make that work for you, and then you'll be a happy person.”

“Some days are diamonds, some days are rocks.”

“You have four years to be irresponsible here. Relax. Work is for people with jobs.”

“I don't think it's a good attitude in your life to feel that you have to be rich to have self-esteem.”

“If you don't know what you want, you end up with a lot you don't.”

“Time to move on, time to get going.”

“A good rock'n'roll song is three chords and the truth.”

“I'm just a normal guy who's had a real lucky life. I've got a great family and a business that I love.”

“Music is the only real magic I have ever encountered in my life. There's not some trick involved with it. It's pure and it's real.”
