USA Today asked Petty what the last movie he saw was and his answer shows that he is not much of a cinephile.

Probably Driving Miss Daisy or something like that. That's how long it's been since I've been to a movie. (Laughs) That's what, 20 or 30 years ago? (Actually 25.) I couldn't even tell you.

Petty also talks about the kind of television shows he likes, saying he prefers the History Channel and science programming, especially "outer space crap."
