Neil Young People Quotations

I have a lot faith in the younger generation of music lovers. Youth isn't living in the past; if somebody tells them that there's something better than what they have, they're going to check it out. And if they like it, they're going to get it. I'm not worried about the youth. Young people aren't just looking back, they are also looking forward.

My life is not a political campaign. I just write about what is on my mind. I just play whatever I feel like playing. Whatever is in my soul at the time is what I want to do. I have, thank god, enough people who are still interested in what I am doing so that I can go out and keep doing it.

I trust people. So I make my music for people, not for candidates.

The money needed to run for office, the money spent on lobbying by special interests, the ever-increasing economic disparity, and the well-funded legislative decisions, all favor corporate interests over the people.

I do not trust self-serving misinformation coming from corporations and their media trolls. I do not trust politicians who are taking millions from those corporations, either. I trust people. So I make my music for people, not for candidates.

People don't normally change when things are going well. But I want to see what's next and keep moving. That keeps things fresh.

There were some things Reagan liked that I liked. The main component was that people have to talk to each other and help themselves.

Hard working people stopping for a drink on the way to work.

Some people put down all presidents. If you say anything good about any of them, they think you're supporting everything they do.

I was a Reagan backer. It was a shock for some people that I could agree with anything that man would say.

I like it if people enjoy what I'm doing, but if they don't, I also like it. I sometimes really like aggravating people with what I do. I think it's good for them.

Most people think it's the other way around: that time is going faster and we're doing less. But really time seems to be going faster because we're cramming so much into it.

Government can't completely take care of people by making a bunch of promises and programs. Organize your communities

I love it when people yell at me about the environment and then I tell 'em I'm burning 90% cleaner than them.

And as an afterthought, this too must be told: Some people have taken pure bullshit and turned it into gold.

When the punk thing came along and I heard my friends saying, I hate these people with the pins in their ears. I said, Thank God, something got their attention.

Learning from other people is what music is all about.

I want to be a reflection of what's going on and let people draw their own conclusions.

It's cool to go places where working people are happy.

Back then people closed their eyes and listened to music. Today there's a lot of images that go with the music. A lot of music is crap and it's all commercial and the images are all trying to sell the record.

When people start asking you to do the same thing over and over again, that's when you know you're way too close to something that you don't want to be near.

People who agree with you already agree with you -- you don't change peoples minds.

All these people talking about morality should just take a walk downtown. They don't want to go downtown because instantly they see homeless people and they don't want to.

I am succeeding because people are talking about how they would do it better.

It's kind of too bad that people know about this, because it's like, 'The only way he could make a good album is if he had an aneurysm,' or something. I feel a little funny about it, because I know I would have made an album anyway, and I don't feel like I'm slowing down, but these things happen. Yeah, there's a lot of reflection. It affected all the songs.

The people at the Chicago Tribune should be held responsible for this piece of crap,

We want computer games to move people emotionally, like a great piece of art, a great movie or a great piece of music.

A lot of people that buy vinyl today don’t realise that they’re listening to CD masters on vinyl and that’s because the record companies have figured out that people want vinyl, And they're only making CD masters in digital, so all the new products that come out on vinyl are actually CDs on vinyl, which is really nothing but a fashion statement.

I feel like our religion and our faith have been hijacked. What is bothering me the most is the misappropriation of religion and faith, the misuse of God and the house of worship. It's one faith with different people trying to express it in different ways. It's all about being the little guy in the big world.

This album is about exchanging ideas. It's about getting a message out. It's about empowering people by giving them a voice. I know not everyone believes what I say is what they think, but red and blue is not black and white. We're all together. It's a record about unification.
