The first thing that I do when I come out every night is to look at the faces in front of me, very individually.

I couldn't worry about whether I`m gonna make it onstage or not. You can't. You just gotta do it. And if you do, you do, and if you don't, you don't, and then something else happens. That's the point of the live performance.

I had tried to go to college, and I didn't really fit in. I went to a real narrow-minded school where people gave me a lot of trouble, and I was hounded off the campus - I just looked different and acted different, so I left school.

They say "ya gotta stay hungry"... Hey Baby...I'm just about starvin' tonight!

I never knew anybody who was unhappy with their job and was happy with their life. It's your sense of purpose. Now, some people can find it elsewhere. Some people can work a job and find it some place else.

I told a story with the E Street Band that was bigger and better than I could have done on my own.

Sometimes, at night you could hear the whole damn city crying.
