'Darkness on the Edge of Town' came out of a huge body of work that had tons of very happy songs.

When I look at myself, I don't see the man I wanted to be.

Our American government has strayed too far from American values. It is time to move forward. The country we carry in our hearts is waiting.

From the beginning, I imagined I would have a long work life.

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.

When I first started in rock, I had a big guy's audience for my early records. I had a very straight image, particularly through the mid '80s.

There's a beauty in work and I love it, all different kinds of work. That's what I consider it. Rock is my job, and that's my work. And I work my ass off, you know.
