Most bands don't work out. A small unit democracy is very, very difficult.

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

Is there anybody alive out there?

I was the only person I'd ever met who had a record contract. None of the E Street Band, as far as I know, had been on an airplane until Columbia sent us to Los Angeles.

I don't want to make a record like in the '50s or the '60s or the '70s. I want to make a record like today, that`s right now.

"Born To Run," that expands every time we go out. It just seems to you - more of your life fills it in, fills in the story. And when we hit it every night, it's always a huge catharsis. It's fascinating to see the audience singing it back to me. It's quite wonderful, you know, to see people that intensely singing your song.

The wonderful thing about rock music is even if you hate the other person, sometimes you need him more, you know. In other words if he's the guy that made that sound, he's the guy that made that sound, and without that guy making that sound, you don't have a band, you know.
