More From Tom Petty

The best parenting advice i ever got was from a labor nurse who told me the following: 1. after your baby gets here, the dog will just be a dog. 2. the terrible twos last through age three. 3. never ask your child an open-ended question, such as "do you want to go to bed now?" you won't want to hear the answer, believe me. "do you want me to carry you upstairs, or do you want to walk upstairs to go to bed?" that way, you get the outcome you want and they feel empowered.

When looking for a life partner, my advice to women is date all of them: the bad boys, the cool boys, the commitment-phobic boys, the crazy boys. but do not marry them. the things that make the bad boys sexy do not make them good husbands. when it comes time to settle down, find someone who wants an equal partner. someone who thinks women should be smart, opinionated and ambitious. someone who values fairness and expects or, even better, wants to do his share in the home. these men exist and, trust me, over time, nothing is sexier.

If the white man wants to live in peace with the indian, he can live in peace. treat all men alike. give them all the same law. give them all an even chance to live and grow. all men were made by the same great spirit chief. they are all brothers. the earth is the mother of all people, and all people should have equal rights upon it. let me be a free man, free to travel, free to stop, free to work, free to trade where i choose, free to choose my own teachers, free to follow the religion of my fathers, free to think and talk and act for myself, and i will obey every law, or submit to the penalty.

Suddenly it wasn't only a personal thing to me. i could picture hundreds and hundreds of boys living on the wrong sides of cities, boys with black eyes who jumped at their own shadows. hundreds of boys who maybe watched sunsets and looked at stars and ached for something better. i could see boys going down under street lights because they were mean and tough and hated the world, and it was too late to tell them that there was still good in it, and they wouldn't believe you if you did.
Stars Believe Sunset
It's unwise to pay too much, but it's worse to pay too little. when you pay too much, you lose a little money - that's all. when you pay too little, you sometimes lose everything, because the thing you bought was incapable of doing the thing it was bought to do. the common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot - it can't be done. if you deal with the lowest bidder, it is well to add something for the risk you run, and if you do that you will have enough to pay for something better.
