When I was very, very young, I decided that I was gonna catalogue my times because that's what other people who I admired did. That's what Bob Dylan did, that's what Frank Sinatra did, Hank Williams did, in very different ways.

More quotes by Bruce Springsteen
I had no credit cards. I had no checks. I was cash only until I was probably 30 years old.
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 have spent my life judging the distance between American reality and the American dream.
Bruce Springsteen
Unions have been the only powerful and effective voice working people have ever had in the history of this country.
Bruce Springsteen
They say ya gotta stay hungry... Hey Baby...I'm just about starvin' tonight!
Bruce Springsteen
Last night me and Kate we laid in bed talking about getting out, Packing up our bags, maybe heading south. I'm thirty-five, we got a boy of our own now. Last night I sat him up behind the wheel and said, Son, take a good look around, This is your hometown.
Bruce Springsteen
Music was my way of keeping people from looking through and around me. I wanted the heavies to know I was around.
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
They put a rifle in my hand, sent me off to a foreign land to go and kill the Yellow man.
Bruce Springsteen
When you`re onstage you have a certain faith that somebody's gonna yell somethin' back. Some nights it's louder than other nights and some nights they do, and on some songs they don't. But that's the idea. I think when you begin to expect a reaction from an audience, it's a mistake.
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
Sometimes I do an automatic songs, songs that you don't really think about, or work on. You just look back and it sorta surprises you.
Bruce Springsteen
The only thing I know as I get older is that I don't really need to be No. 1.
Bruce Springsteen
Somebody who can reckon with the past, who can live with the past in the present, and move towards the future - that's fabulous.
Bruce Springsteen
A pop song is a condensed version of a life in three minutes, whereas, when you go to write your prose, you have to find the rhythm in your words, and you have to find the rhythm in the voice that you have found and the way you're speaking.
Bruce Springsteen
I walked a thousand miles just to slip this skin.
Bruce Springsteen
The audiences are there as a result of my history with the band but also as a result of my being able to reach people with a tune.
Bruce Springsteen
I'm not in any rush. I'm not somebody who, if I write a song, I get it out. That's not something I've ever really quite done.
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
The songs themselves do broaden out as time passes and take on subtly different meanings, take on more meaning, I find.
