More quotes by Bruce Springsteen
Someday we'll look back on this and it will all seem funny.
Bruce Springsteen
The marriage-equality issue should be recognized for what it truly is - a civil rights issue that must be approved to assure that every citizen is treated equally under the law.
Bruce Springsteen
Let's raise our glass and let the hammer fly, yeah, this is the long good-bye.
Bruce Springsteen
Your legs were heaven, your breasts were the alter, your body was the holy land.
Bruce Springsteen
The life of a rock & roll band will last as long as you can look down into the audience and see yourself.
Bruce Springsteen
You can hide beneath the covers and study your pain, make crosses from your lovers, throw roses in the rain. Waste your summer praying in vain, for a savior to rise from these streets.
Bruce Springsteen
I think initially, our audiences were filled with young men. You know, our initial audience was a lot of young guys who I think were trying to - who you played a bit of a big brother role for and were trying to sort out a lot of the same things right - soon as Born To Run hit, you know? So it was something that I worked pretty hard on.
Bruce Springsteen
Mental illness and creativity are - it's a thin line in between the two. I tend to believe that.
Bruce Springsteen
The moment you begin to depend on audience reaction, you're doing the wrong thing. You're doin' it wrong, it's a mistake, it's not right. You can't allow yourself, no matter what, to depend on them.
Bruce Springsteen
The future is now. Roll up your sleeves and let your passion flow. The country we carry in our hearts is waiting.
Bruce Springsteen
Gonna be a twister to blow everything down That ain't got the faith to stand its ground Blow away the dreams that tear you apart Blow away the dreams that break your heart Blow away the lies that leave you nothing but lost and brokenhearted.
Bruce Springsteen
I think when you're a child, you just cling to the basics, which is the basic story of Jesus and the crucifixion and hell and eternal punishment and the flames. This was all stuff that was - forget when you're young.
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
If you want truth to go round the world you must hire an express train to pull it but if you want a lie to go round the world, it will fly: it is as light as a feather, and a breath will carry it. It is well said in the old proverb, 'a lie will go round the world while truth is pulling its boots on'.
Bruce Springsteen
The wise men were all fools, what to do?
Bruce Springsteen
It doesn't matter what happened last night or the night - or tomorrow night. It's all about what you're doing with this audience right now.
Bruce Springsteen
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.
Bruce Springsteen
I'm used to writing something, it becomes a record, it comes out. Then I go perform and I play it and I get this immediate feedback from the audience. So that's been the pattern of my life.
Bruce Springsteen
I guess my view of America is of a real bighearted country, real compassionate.
Bruce Springsteen
I walked a thousand miles just to slip this skin.
