Asbury Park's a special place for me. It's where I really began playing.
Quote by -Clarence Clemons
To me, music is a river. I have lived my life beside the river. Every day, I get up and look at the river. I watch it and notice when it rises and falls.
Quote by -Clarence Clemons
The night before a show, I don't sleep. Really. I've been doing this for 30 years, and the night before a show, I still don't sleep.

Of course, you get exhausted. You want to pass out. I came close a couple of times. But you're filled with something, that feedback that comes from the audience.
Quote by -Clarence Clemons
It's sad to see these old buildings go because they have so many memories, and it's a real personal kind of thing when you play these places. It's part of our history just gone.

What you did, nobody wants to know about it, unless you did something exciting.

Through all the hardships and all the operations and all the hospitals, all that stuff each part of my life, there's been some goodness, some greatness that comes in here and helps me to be strong, to continue what I'm doing.
Quote by -Clarence Clemons
Going through all of this physical stuff, it's been a tough job. But I've loved every second of my life.
Quote by -Clarence Clemons
I hung out in the Baltimore area a lot. My biggest memory was playing football against Morgan. That was, like, 'Forget about it,' that was a really big thing. They used to kick our butts all the time.
Quote by -Clarence Clemons
I didn't think I'd ever be a Michael Jackson fan. But... watching him move, watching him dance, is so encouraging for me. Because, in my mind, I can do all that stuff.

Of all the surgeries I've had, there's not much left to operate on. I am totally bionic.
Quote by -Clarence Clemons
I know that one day I'm going to die. I want to accomplish as much as I can before I do.
Quote by -Clarence Clemons
It's love. It's two men - two strong, very virile men - finding that space in life where they can let go enough of their masculinity to feel the passion of love and respect and trust. Friendships are based on those things, and you seal it with a kiss.
Quote by -Clarence Clemons
I'm blessed with nice legs, but I see lots of guys with big upper bodies and pencil legs.
Quote by -Clarence Clemons
It's a crazy world, so I meditate for 20 minutes. I also meditate for 20 minutes before a concert.
Quote by -Clarence Clemons
When I go out before a crowd, I ask God to give me inspiration to be the light.

Small clubs aren't as lucrative, but spiritually, they're my favorite places to play. It's a homey kind of thing. I refer to it as the Church of What's Happening Now.
Quote by -Clarence Clemons
I don't care about the gold records and all of that stuff. I care about what we do onstage, and the joy that we bring to people.
Quote by -Clarence Clemons
I've been thinking about a cookbook. I've been making notes and promising myself I'll do it some day. I have an idea for a cookbook and music together.
Quote by -Clarence Clemons
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.
Quote by -Clarence Clemons
Somebody said to me, 'Whenever somebody says your name, a smile comes to their face.' That's a great accolade. I strive to keep it that way.
Quote by -Clarence Clemons
Nobody played instruments in my family. My father got that bug and said he wants his son to play saxophone.
