People see you onstage and, yeah, I'd want to be that guy.I want to be that guy myself very often.

The best music is essentially there to provide you something to face the world with.

By the time I was 19, my parents weren't very authoritative over my life.I didn't have any doubt about that - at that time about what I was going to do or where I was going. I was a musician. I was going to play. I had a band. We were going to make enough money to survive on.

Physical pain is my friend. I pursue it every night for four hours.

After 'Born to Run,' I had a reaction to my good fortune. With success, it felt like a lot of people who'd come before me lost some essential part of themselves. My greatest fear was that success was going to change or diminish that part of myself.

My heart's dark, but it's rising. I'm pulling all the faith I can see.

Everybody's got a hungry heart.
