More quotes by Bruce Springsteen
Politics and life go hand in hand.
Bruce Springsteen
Plus, you know, when I was young, there was a lot of respect for clowning in rock music - look at Little Richard. It was a part of the whole thing, and I always also believed that it released the audience.
Bruce Springsteen
I looked at myself, and I just said, well, you know, I can sing but I'm not the greatest singer in the world. I can play guitar very well, but I'm not the greatest guitar player in the world... And so I said, well, if I'm going to project an individuality, it's going to have to be in my writing.
Bruce Springsteen
Getting an audience is hard. Sustaining an audience is hard. It demands a consistency of thought, of purpose, and of action over a long period of time.
Bruce Springsteen
Blood moon risin' in a sky of black dust, tell me baby, who do you trust?
Bruce Springsteen
Your success story is a bigger story than whatever you're trying to say on stage. Success makes life easier. It doesn't make living easier.
Bruce Springsteen
I took a month long vacation in the stratosphere, and you know it's very hard to hold your breath.
Bruce Springsteen
I always write with an audience in mind. If I feel that [connection] coming back at me then I feel like I'm doing my job. That's why people come to my music - for some emotional experience or a perspective, either on their own lives, or on the world that they're living in.
Bruce Springsteen
I was a guitar player on the streets of Asbury Park and already a member in good standing amongst those who lie in service of the truth - artists with a small A. But I held four clean aces. I had youth, almost a decade of hardcore bar band experience, a good group of homegrown musicians who were attuned to my performance style, and a story to tell.
Bruce Springsteen
For me, once I count the band in, and I delve deep into my song, I feel a certain sort of integrity and integration that I rarely find in my daily life.
Bruce Springsteen
Every fool has a reason for feeling sorry for himself.
Bruce Springsteen
Basically, I was pretty ostracized in my hometown. Me and a few other guys were the town freaks- and there were many occasions when we were dodging getting beaten up ourselves.
Bruce Springsteen
Unions have been the only powerful and effective voice working people have ever had in the history of this country.
Bruce Springsteen
Is a dream a lie if it don't come true? Or is it something worse?
Bruce Springsteen
Time slips away and leaves you with nothing, mister, but boring stories of glory days.
Bruce Springsteen
You still had to find the music inside your language. You know, it was - that's a big part of what sort of moved me to begin writing the book. I wrote a little essay and I felt, yeah, this is a good voice. This is a good feeling. It feels like me.
Bruce Springsteen
Poor man wanna be rich, rich man wanna be king, and a king ain't satisfied until he rules everything.
Bruce Springsteen
Hey man, did you see that? His body hit the street with such a beautiful thud.
Bruce Springsteen
I held four clean aces. I had youth, almost a decade of hard-core bar band experience, a good group of homegrown musicians who were attuned to my performance style and a story to tell.

We're here to re-dedicate you to The Power, The Passion, The Mystery, and The Ministry of Rock and Roll.
