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

My lifelong friend and mentor Frank Barsalona is gone. And the music business as we knew it went with him.

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.

It's become uncool to play other people's songs, and that's absurd. It has got to change. It's the reason why everything's so mediocre.

I have lost a brother and a best friend. The world has lost one of the greatest actors of all time.

Timing really is nearly everything. And what it isn't, circumstance makes up for.

Touch the earth, speak of love, walk on common ground.

Enuff Z'nuff is one of the most underrated bands in the world!

I didn't make that much money... Once I joined Bruce (Springsteen), I took a huge pay cut.

Rock'n'roll as a genre is different from pop and hip hop: it is about bands, and that for me suggests brotherhood, family, friendship and community.

You have to love what you're doing in order to find the energy.

As the light begins to intensify, so does my misery, and I wonder how it is possible to hurt so much when nothing is wrong.

Let me put it this way. You, my beautiful girl, have the power to really hurt me, with how I feel about you. Far more than anyone else ever has or ever could. I don’t know if you realize that.

The brave venture anything.

Writing lyrics with your wife does lead to talking about yourselves a lot. But this is not an autobiographical account of my personal marriage. It's almost about the marriage of the band.

Masculine republics give way to feminine democracies, and feminine democracies give way to tyranny.

Stupid is never that entertaining. You can be stupid and sexy, stupid and funny but he's just plain stupid. That is not remarkable, that's what I mean.

I want to be a jerk like the rest of my friends, and have fun, and not care about the consequences, but I just can't now.

I do think vulnerability is a virtue.

[Humility is:] Greatness in plain clothes

Never flinch, never weary, never despair.
