I don't believe in lawsuits much. I think there are enough frivolous lawsuits in this country without people fighting over pop songs. - Tom Petty

If we're born in God's image, then God knows how we can fuck up. And he knows that you really didn't mean it.

An 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. 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.

Artists aren't necessarily business people. And they aren't necessarily aware of all the things that go on in their names. Some just want to make some music, but there is a lot of greed among artists as well. Whether or not we know it, we are all to blame. I think it's time — starting with the artist — to try to be a little more responsible and aware of what goes on in our name.
