More quotes by Bruce Springsteen
The poets down here don't write nothin' at all, they just stand back and let it all be.
Bruce Springsteen
The release date is just one day, but the record is forever.
Bruce Springsteen
When I first started in rock, I had a big guy's audience for my early records. I had a very straight image, particularly through the mid '80s.
Bruce Springsteen
If you're good, you're always looking over your shoulder.
Bruce Springsteen
Born To Run, that expands every time we go out. It just seems to you - more of your life fills it in, fills in the story. And when we hit it every night, it's always a huge catharsis. It's fascinating to see the audience singing it back to me. It's quite wonderful, you know, to see people that intensely singing your song.
Bruce Springsteen
Time slips away and leaves you with nothing, mister, but boring stories of glory days.
Bruce Springsteen
I like narrative storytelling as being part of a tradition, a folk tradition.
Bruce Springsteen
Wendy, let me in, I wanna be your friend. I wanna guard your dreams and visions.
Bruce Springsteen
The past is never the past. It is always present. And you better reckon with it in your life and in your daily experience, or it will get you. It will get you really bad.
Bruce Springsteen
After 'Born to Run,' I had a reaction to my good fortune. With success, it felt like a lot of people who'd come before me lost some essential part of themselves. My greatest fear was that success was going to change or diminish that part of myself.
Bruce Springsteen
I had tried to go to college, and I didn't really fit in. I went to a real narrow-minded school where people gave me a lot of trouble, and I was hounded off the campus - I just looked different and acted different, so I left school.
Bruce Springsteen
Here everybody has a neighbor Everybody has a friend Everybody has a reason to begin again.
Bruce Springsteen
Somewhere along the way, the idea, which I think was initially to get some fair transaction between people, went out the window. And what came in was, the most you can get and the least you can give. That's why cars are the way they are nowadays. It's just an erosion of all the things that were true and right about the original idea.
Bruce Springsteen
The best music is essentially there to provide you something to face the world with.
Bruce Springsteen
You get used to anything, sooner or later it just becomes your life.
Bruce Springsteen
You can't start a fire Worrying 'bout your little world falling apart This gun's for hire Even if we're just dancing in the dark
Bruce Springsteen
Most artists I know had one person in their life who told them they were the second coming of the baby Jesus, and another person that told them they weren't worth anything, and they believed them both, you know?
Bruce Springsteen
Show a little faith there is magic in the night. You ain't a beauty, but hey you're alright, and that's alright with me.
Bruce Springsteen
I go to put my arm around you and you give me a look like I'm way out of bounds.
Bruce Springsteen
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
