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.

From Neil Diamond

When you're on a merry-go-round, you miss a lot of the scenery.

From Neil Diamond

Songs are life in 80 words or less.

From 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.

From Neil Diamond

No, I majored in biology, in a pre-med program.

From Neil Diamond

Performing is the easiest part of what I do, and songwriting is the hardest.

From Neil Diamond

The cardinal rule for any performer is that they should know themselves before they enter the spotlight, and I didn't. I was just Neil and I did what I was supposed to do. I was supposed to get married, so I got married. I was supposed to get a job, so I looked for work.

From Neil Diamond

It's very difficult for me to say 'I love you' but to sing 'I love you' for me is easier.

From 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.

From Neil Diamond

I've looked at photographs of myself during concerts and it sometimes looks as if I'm in a fencing move, with a guitar in my hands instead of a sword.
