Neil Diamond quotes - page 3
Brooklyn is not the easiest place to grow up in, although I wouldn't change that experience for anything.
Neil Diamond
Songwriting is different from music, although I don't deny now that it would be nice to have a little more background in music theory.
Neil Diamond
Because my musical training has been limited, I've never been restricted by what technical musicians might call a song.
Neil Diamond
There's a mystery to writing, and you don't really know where most of it comes from.
Neil Diamond
Chelsea Morning is a great Joni Mitchell song and I guess I'm partial to her lyrics because they show me a slightly different perspective on life.
Neil Diamond
Don't need to say please to no man for a happy tune.
Neil Diamond
Pride is the chief cause in the decline in the number of husbands and wives.
Neil Diamond
'I am,' I said To no one there, And no one heard at all.
Neil Diamond
I thought love was more or less a giving thing. Seems the more I gave, the less I got.
Neil Diamond
I don't feel I have to write deep and meaningful songs; they can be light and meaningless. It has to do with the place I am in my life, a really good place.
Neil Diamond
No, I majored in biology, in a pre-med program.
Neil Diamond
I like having a woman. I like having someone to come home to, to make all of the hard work feel worth it. I need someone with me. And I want someone.
Neil Diamond

Neil Diamond
I used to go to my kids' soccer games and I was the only parent who wasn't screaming, because I'd have to do a show that night. It was hard. Moms and dads get more emotional at those soccer and Little League games than at a professional game.
Neil Diamond
When I need my wife or when I need companionship or someone to talk to, I need it, like, now. So my wife will have to give up whatever she's doing at that moment to tend to my needs. And, in the same way, I would tend to hers. That's not such an easy thing to do.
Neil Diamond
I may have a little bit of a talent for music, but I've learnt to tap into my own self when I write. When I put the drill bit inside my heart, sometimes I come up with something light and frothy, sometimes with something deep and painful, but it's great to connect with the audience.
Neil Diamond
You can't plan to write a great song. It just happens to you. It drops in your lap. It's the same thing with a woman.
Neil Diamond
You have to go out there and give a piece of yourself -- your life, your soul. And you better give the audience everything you can -- physically, emotionally, musically. Then maybe they'll accept you and give you a standing ovation at the end.
Neil Diamond
Be as a page that aches for a word Which speaks on a theme that is timeless.
Neil Diamond
I think I need to be married. Having a wife and family makes some sense out of all that I do, because I can't make any sense out of 20,000 adoring fans watching me for two hours.
Neil Diamond
I'm throwing myself back in because I like being married. I don't want to end this whole fabulous journey alone. I want someone by my side who I love and who loves me. I've finally found somebody who's up to the task of being my wife, because I'm very high maintenance.
Neil Diamond
I definitely don't feel like I'm 71. I feel like I did when I was - between 30 and 40. The body ages. The mind doesn't.
