I guess my view of America is of a real bighearted country, real compassionate.

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.

You know, my music utilizes things from the past, because that's what the past is for. It's to learn from. It's not to limit you, you shouldn't be limited by it.

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

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