The best thing about the E Street Band was we had the best lead singer around.

My father wasn't a very good lawyer. He thought the law was sacred and something that was meant to help people. He didn't charge people like he should have... which is why I was allowed to play bars and strip joints when I was 14.

I have been very lucky to find something I am good at and can make money at... Playing with Bruce was the embodiment of everything that a little kid could dream about.

I was a really crazy kid. I'm still a crazy kid. That's the nice thing about being in a rock band. You can feel 14 forever.

I will always desire to play with Bruce Springsteen. He's the most inspirational, most dedicated, most committed and most focused artist I've ever seen. I like to be around people like that.

There's a certain groove you pick that makes the music flow, and when you have it it's in your pocket. It's the feeling behind the rhythm... to me, the hardest thing to strive for is that feeling, behind the groove.

I think 'Bat Out Of Hell' will probably last forever.

I have to give my family credit for putting up with the racket, because as some of you may know, its not the easiest thing in the world to live with a kid who's trying to become a rock and roll drummer.

I take my fun very seriously, whether it's playing the drums or acting in comedy bits. The need to be disciplined about it, and not take it lightly, and not be too casual, is something I take deeply to heart.

All I ever wanted to do was play the drums; I felt good about myself when I played the drums. So I worked anywhere and everywhere I could lug my drums in.

I loved Old School. I thought Old School was very different than a lot of the comedies that had come out. And that character I liked. I tried to ground him very much in reality and play him very much finding things important to him that are somewhat ridiculous.

I'm not a big family person. I'm more of a loner.

Whenever I feel blue, I start breathing again.

I think golf is literally an addiction. I'm surprised there's not Golf Anonymous.

Criminals look at identity theft and say only 1 in 700 criminals gets convicted of it. And they look at check forgery and they know that for every 1,400 forgers arrested, only about 123 get convicted and about 26 go to jail. So the rewards are great, but the risks are very slim. So that's one of the reasons that make it very popular.

I'm playing to the sort of people who like the same records.

Holy Father forgive me for grumbling. I know Ive sounded just like the Israelites. I long to dwell not on the If Onlys but on You. Make me wise like the old woodcutter content with what I know not perturbed by what I dont know.

If you were a quitter you would have given up on life a long time ago. The fact that youre still here proves that youre a fighter with hopes of better days.

We were wavering around like a ship without a sail.

We should never allow presentation to become a casualty of method.

A hundred years ago, if you had a child out of marriage, you'd be a social disgrace. Today women feel comfortable enough economically and culturally to bring up a child without a recognized commitment from a man.

There are some good people. But a good chunk of them will lie for no reason at all - it'll be ten o'clock and they'll tell you it's nine. You're looking at the clock and you can't even fathom why they're lying. They just lie because that's what they do.

Being able to make a comedy at Disney was really appealing.

There is no long distance about love, it always finds a way to bring hearts together no matter how many miles there are between them.

Everything is temporary. Everything is bound to end.

Everyone loves good looks, but personality is what sells for me. I want someone to have fun and go on adventures with. I do like guys with tattoos, though.

I guess after Dances With Wolves they probably tried some derivative westerns, and if they didn't work, they said the western is dead and moved on to something else.

Me, I walk along and feel quietly defensive, a recluse in the Land of We. That's quite the loaded word, 'we.'

Believing in yourself is an endless destination. Believing you have failed. is the end of your journey.

Never forget that if you leave your law to judges and your religion to bishops, you will presently find yourself without either law or religion.

By making yourself better, that's how you make your team better.

There's not much to do in Atlanta, so the cast went to the gym together, went shopping together, and dinner was always a group thing. It's that whole summer-camp experience that making movies tends to be anyway.

An insult is either sustained or destroyed, not by the disposition of those who insult, but by the disposition of those who bear it.

What I'm concerned about is endless borrowing, which is going to compromise our economy not only today but in the future. Because we know the decisions we make right now really dramatically impact us in the future, and the debt is literally getting out of our control.
