Today it seems that if you don’t have a hit – or even if you do – they have no use for you the next time. You and I will meet again, When we’re least expecting it, One day in some far off place, I will recognize your face, I won’t say goodbye my friend, For you and I will meet againĪn act like ours wouldn’t even be around today if someone hadn’t brought us along and let us make mistakes and grow at our own pace. One good thing about the sixties was it sort of was the opposite back then. Now, I find that fascinating: ‘Bigger, younger, richer.’ This whole idea of being wealthy has gone too far. It said three words against a patriotic background of red, white and blue - BIGGER, YOUNGER, RICHER. You know, I saw a billboard in New York I wish I had photographed. Go out on a Tuesday with your friends when you have a paper due Wednesday. You’ll never remember class time, but you’ll remember time you wasted hanging out with your friends. You have four years to be irresponsible here. I have turned down a lot of money for things that would have made me feel cheesy. I don’t think it’s a good attitude in your life to feel that you have to be rich to have self-esteem. Even the losers keep a little bit of pride. You get in there, you get the job done and you get the hell out.Įven the losers get lucky sometimes.

Most things I worry about never happen anyway. We’ve been sent here to raise hell and cause chaos. Some of them come from things he’s said in interviews others are excerpts of song lyrics. Here are some of my favorite Tom Petty quotes. Not only is he the lead singer for the Heartbreakers, he was also instrumental in forming the Traveling Wilburys, my favorite rock music supergroup ever. Tom Petty is one of my favorite singer-songwriters.
