I got a house full of Rembrandts and priceless art, and all the little girls they wanna tear me apart.

You ask for your audience's investment in your music; you're in a relationship with them. And their relationship with the E Street Band is separate from whatever else I might do. I like the idea of us being something that people rely on.

Your skin upon my skin, in the beating of our hearts, may the living let us in, before the dead tear us apart.

Sometimes I do an automatic songs, songs that you don't really think about, or work on. You just look back and it sorta surprises you.

Talk about a dream, try to make it real.

I tend to be not my own best company. I can get a little lost when - if I don't have my work to occasionally focus me.

Somebody who can reckon with the past, who can live with the past in the present, and move towards the future - that's fabulous.
