For me or a Bruce Springsteen to sit up in our ivory towers and make comments about racism, well, were not really in it, are we?

The greatest thing that ever happened to (my career) was the breakdown of the record companies, because there were no more stupid questions about how many hits are on the next record. It was very liberating.

It's what you do and not what you say. If you're not part of the future, then get out of the way!

Sometimes love don't feel like it should, you make it hurt so good.
