Bruce Springsteen
Elvis Presley is all there is. There just ain't no more. Everything starts and ends with Elvis. He wrote the book. He is everything to do and not to do in the music business.
Bruce Springsteen
All you can do is show people...You tell stories that are true and compelling.
Bruce Springsteen

Bruce Springsteen
I believe the war on poverty is a more American idea than the war on the war on poverty. I believe that most people feel like that. And I believe that it ain't over till it's over.
Bruce Springsteen
Blame it on the lies that killed us. Blame it on the truth that ran us down.
Bruce Springsteen
I took a month long vacation in the stratosphere, and you know it's very hard to hold your breath.
Bruce Springsteen
You ask for your audience's investment in your music you're in a relationship with them. And their relationship with the E Street Band is separate from whatever else I might do. I like the idea of us being something that people rely on.
Bruce Springsteen
All people have is hope. That's what brings the next day and whatever that day may bring... A hope grounded in the real world of living, friendship, work, family...
Bruce Springsteen
