I always look terrible before the show. That's when I feel worst. And after the show it's like a million bucks. Simple as that. You feel a little tired but you never feel better. Nothing makes me feel as good as those hours between when you walk offstage, until I go to bed. That's the hours that I live for.
My dad had a very difficult life, a hard struggle all the time at work. I've always felt like I'm seeking his revenge.
I tend to be pessimistic. I want to believe in hope.
Music doesn't tell you where to go. It says, go find your own place. That's what it told me.
We live in a post-authentic world, and today authenticity is a house of mirrors. It's all just what you're bringing when the lights go down. It's your teachers, your influences, and your personal history. At the end of the day, it's the power and purpose of your music that still matters.
Your success story is a bigger story than whatever you're trying to say on stage. Success makes life easier. It doesn't make living easier.
Those wounds stay with you, and you turn them into a language and a purpose.
Settle back is to settle without knowing.

I told a story with the E Street Band that was bigger and better than I could have done on my own.
I think life goes through a cycle of losing and refinding yourself all the time. Everyone has disappointments all the time, some of them pretty small, some of them pretty big.
When you have three teenagers, it gives a whole new meaning to "homeland security."
To her Cheshire smile, I'll stand on file, she's all I ever wanted. But you let your blue walls get in the way of these facts.
Fame, on its best day, is kind of like a friendly wave from a stranger by the side of the road. And when it's not so good, it's like a long walk home, all alone, with nobody in when you get there.
