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

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

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.

Don't let them say you ain't beautiful. They can all get fu#ked just stay true to you.

Love is not an idea, not a feeling, not a sensation, not a sentiment, not a passion, not even an emotion. It is becoming and being not... Ultimate nothingness! Complete self-annihilation!

If you're heartless, try not to steal someone else's

Growing up I was as big a tomboy as you can get.

I played a kid's game, I got to do it at the beach, and I was able to support my family. I consider myself incredibly lucky.

I love Emmylou Harris's version of my song, 'Sweet Old World.' Her intonation is great.

I started writing books for children because I could illustrate them myself and because, in my innocence, I thought they'd be easier.

We can't afford to be killing one another.

Stories only happen to people who can tell them.

The only safe ruler is he who has learned to obey willingly.
