Tom Petty quote: "I don't think it's a good attitude in your life to feel that..."
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
Making a record? You've got to have the song, then you create a record. I think it's the same with a live performance. If the material is strong, you're already 90% there. I always tell young people it's all about the music, the songs. Work on the songs, work on the songs, work on the songs. Tom Petty
TV does not care about you or what happens to you. It's downright bad for your health now, and that's not a far-out concept. I think watching the TV news is bad for you. It is bad for your physical health and your mental health. Tom Petty
I had to learn a new way of playing. I had to practice a lot, and just find ways around the limitations. So it was a bad idea to break my hand. You said you were doing a lot of cocaine. Did that affect your songwriting? No. I think it affected my breaking my hand. Tom Petty
I think television's become a downright dangerous thing. It has no moral barometer whatsoever. If you want to talk about something that is all about money, just watch the television. 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
