More quotes by Bruce Springsteen
And whether you're drawn to gospel music or church music or honky-tonk music, it informs your character and it informs your talent.
Bruce Springsteen
It's a town full of losers And I'm pulling out of here to win.
Bruce Springsteen
An unfulfilled life makes a hard man.
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
I'm laughing at you, you're laughing at me.
Bruce Springsteen
Just sitting around waiting for my life to begin, while it was all just slipping away.
Bruce Springsteen
You can't be afraid of getting old. Old is good, if you're gathering in life. Our band is good at understanding that equation.
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
Work creates an enormous sense of self and I saw that in my mother. She was an enormous, towering figure to me in the best possible way. I picked up a lot of things from her in the way that I work... I also picked up a lot of the failings of when your father doesn't have those things and that results in a house that turns into a minefield.
Bruce Springsteen
Someday girl, I don't know when, were gonna get to the place where we really want to go, and we'll walk in the sun. But til then, tramps like us, baby, we were born to run.
Bruce Springsteen
Pessimism and optimism are slammed up against each other in my records, the tension between them is where it's all at, it's what lights the fire.
Bruce Springsteen
I've found that giving 100% to your job isn't the same as giving 100% of your life to your job. Very often when I thought I was giving 100% of my life to my job, I was simply obsessing over something.
Bruce Springsteen
The name 'Boss' started with people that worked for me... It was not meant like Boss, capital B, it was meant like 'Boss, where's my dough this week?' And it was sort of just a term among friends. I never really liked it.
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
My heart's dark, but it's rising. I'm pulling all the faith I can see.
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
Time slips away and leaves you with nothing, mister, but boring stories of glory days.
Bruce Springsteen
Wendy, let me in, I wanna be your friend. I wanna guard your dreams and visions.
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
Sometimes it's like someone took a knife, baby, edgy and dull and cut a six inch valley through the middle of my soul.
Bruce Springsteen
