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
Success makes life easier. It doesn't make living easier.
Bruce Springsteen
