God has spoken to me differently through my life, and it has gotten better as I've gotten older. I don't know if that's my reception or his maturing.

I don't ever expect to be permanently happy. I don't think that's part of the human condition.

I was a happy kid up until I hit the teen years.

I've never said, 'I'm squeaky clean.' It's always the people who project that image that are hiding something. No one's squeaky clean.

As I've gotten older, I realize how important my fans are and that I'm here because of them and not the other way around.

I do have a lot of deep religious iconography. I have crosses all over my house, and there's something very attractive about seeing nuns walking down the street. It's not a sexual thing for me; I know it is for some guys.

Wait a minute man, who do you think I am? He answered, Mr. Springsteen.
