Until I realized that rock music was my connection to the rest of the human race, I felt like I was dying, for some reason, and I didn't know why.

We struggled together, and sometimes, we struggled with one another... We took care of one another... In the end, we kept faith in each other.

I studied other singers, so I would learn how to phrase, and learn how to breathe. And the main thing was, I learned how to inhabit my song.

Steve Van Zandt, the poor guy, doesn't get to play enough as it is with me hogging a lot of the solos. Steve has always been a fabulous guitarist. Back from the day when we were both teenagers together, he led his band and played lead and was always a hot guitar player.

You can beat on your chest, hell, any monkey can.

Settle back is to settle without knowing.

The songs themselves do broaden out as time passes and take on subtly different meanings, take on more meaning, I find.
