I got into the soul music, but I wanted to rock. I was a rocker.
As a horn player, the greatest compliment one can get is when a person comes to you and says, 'I heard this saxophone on the radio the other day and I knew it was you. I don't know the song, but I know it was you on sax.'
Now that I am much older, I have had a number of sax players tell me I was responsible for them playing sax. Some of them I have admired over the years.
I was a born rock n' roll sax player.
To me, the sax is rock n' roll, even though electric guitars kind of pushed it aside for a while.
I'd rather somebody punch me in the face than drop my sax.
I wanted an electric train for Christmas but I got the saxophone instead.
Nobody played instruments in my family. My father got that bug and said he wants his son to play saxophone.
I found out how great the E Street Band is. The reality of a band that you can't scoop aside, can't put in a corner.
I'll never be rude to another news person. It's a tough job, a thankless job. You really have to get out there and grovel to get your story.
I visualize what I do before I do it. Visualizing makes me better.
The first time I ever saw a black audience at our concert, we were in Zimbabwe.
