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.

Going through all of this physical stuff, it's been a tough job. But I've loved every second of my life.

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.'

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 take my job as a rock and roll sax player very seriously. To do it the way that I must do it, I must be in good condition. The better shape you're in, the harder you can rock.

It used to take a day to get over the partying. But I don't party anymore. I don't miss it, either.
