It was kind of ridiculous to carry it up to a certain point and then drop the ball or the bomb, like quitting the band right after we had signed to Virgin. ↗

The Christ path is the path I've walked all my life, so it's normal and natural. And I have no reason to abandon it because it leads to where I want to go. ↗

I was in a band when I was 15. We were a glam band. Then I couldn't afford to buy makeup. At the time that was the thing. ↗

Being a songwriter does not rely on an audience or other band members or a camera. I can just sit in a room and write songs. ↗

I went to America and got into a band, had success, had hits in Australia. ↗

I hadn't performed by myself in a while. It feels very natural to me, and I assume people come for the very same reasons as they do when I'm with the band: to be moved, for something to happen to them. ↗

I have my ideas, I have my music and I also just enjoy showing off, so that's a big part of it. Also, I like to get up onstage and behave insanely or express myself physically, and the band can get pretty silly. ↗

I was the only person I'd ever met who had a record contract. None of the E Street Band, as far as I know, had been on an airplane until Columbia sent us to Los Angeles. ↗

My only general rule was to steer away from things I played with the band over the past couple of tours. I was interested in re-shaping the Rising material for live shows, so people could hear the bare bones of that. ↗

The audiences are there as a result of my history with the band but also as a result of my being able to reach people with a tune. ↗
