You can beat on your chest, hell, any monkey can.
Bruce Springsteen

They put a rifle in my hand, sent me off to a foreign land to go and kill the Yellow man.

The wonderful thing about rock music is even if you hate the other person, sometimes you need him more, you know. In other words if he's the guy that made that sound, he's the guy that made that sound, and without that guy making that sound, you don't have a band, you know.

If I have a song that I feel is really one of my best songs, I like it to have a formal studio recording because I believe that something being officially released on a studio record gives it a certain authority that it doesn't quite have if it comes out on a live album or is just a part of your show, you know.

You can revisit - the wonderful thing about my job is you can revisit your 22-year-old self or your 24-year-old self any particular night you want. The songs pick up some extra resonance, I hope, but they're still - they're there, and I can revisit that period of my life when I choose. So it's quite a nice experience.

I think that, when you're writing your songs, there's always a debate about whether, is that you in the song? Is it not you in the song?
Bruce Springsteen

I believe the war on poverty is a more American idea than the war on the war on poverty. I believe that most people feel like that. And I believe that it ain't over till it's over.
Bruce Springsteen

I'm a synthesist. I'm always making music. And I make a lot of different kinds of music all the time. Some of it gets finished and some of it doesn't.
Bruce Springsteen

I know your mama she don't like me, cause I play in a rock and roll band.
Bruce Springsteen

A time comes when you need to stop waiting for the man you want to become and start being the man you want to be.

'Darkness on the Edge of Town' came out of a huge body of work that had tons of very happy songs.
Bruce Springsteen

And whether you're drawn to gospel music or church music or honky-tonk music, it informs your character and it informs your talent.
Bruce Springsteen

The name 'Boss' started with people that worked for me... It was not meant like Boss, capital B, it was meant like 'Boss, where's my dough this week?' And it was sort of just a term among friends. I never really liked it.
Bruce Springsteen

Our American government has strayed too far from American values. It is time to move forward. The country we carry in our hearts is waiting.

If they had told me I was the janitor and would have to mop up and clean the toilets after the show in order to play, I probably would have done it.
