You think your congressman is working all day to get you a job? He may want to. He or she is probably not a bad person. They probably want to do the right thing. But they can't.

I am interested in the interaction of a group of people who have a common goal, or a common obsession, each contributing something unique to make something greater than the sum of its parts. I don't know why, but from day one, that has interested me.

I was in the back of the car with my girlfriend, the Rascals came on the radio and I realized their song was sexier than the sex I was trying to have.

I have a bigger mission than any kind of specific politics, which is trying to restore the accessibility of rock 'n' roll.

Rock 'n' roll is a participatory sport. It ain't passive. It ain't TV. Go out there and rock 'n' roll and dance and have fun.

Anytime you spend six months on a song (Born to Run), there's something not exactly going right. A song should take about three hours.

We're a little lazy about spirituality in this country.
