Rock music had become my religion. Radio my church. And these DJs my priests, rabbis and gurus.

Band members have a special bond. A great band is more than just some people working together. It's like a highly specialized army unit, or a winning sports team. A unique combination of elements that becomes stronger together than apart.

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.

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.

I think it's important that all 50 years of rock 'n' roll live in the same place, because it's all connected.

We never understood the concept of people going onstage and giving anything less than 100 percent. Maybe that's a blue-collar work ethic, but I call it just ethics.

I'd never go onstage in my life without fully intending to do the best show you've ever seen.
