More quotes by Bruce Springsteen
She kissed me just right, like only a lonely angel can.
Bruce Springsteen
You may not be able to hit all the notes. That's OK. You may not have the clearest tone. You may not have the greatest range. But if you can inhabit your song, you can communicate.
Bruce Springsteen
I'm used to writing something, it becomes a record, it comes out. Then I go perform and I play it and I get this immediate feedback from the audience. So that's been the pattern of my life.
Bruce Springsteen
I think you can't demonize somebody that's on the other side of the political spectrum, or you can't generalize about them.
Bruce Springsteen
Yeah, I had gay friends. The first thing I realized was that everybody's different, and it becomes obvious that all of the gay stereotypes are ridiculous.
Bruce Springsteen
You know hearts these days are cheap.
Bruce Springsteen
The music is pretty relentless. You've got to find some way of letting the audience breathe for a minute, give them a little bit of air - but not too much. Otherwise it would get real intense. The room would get very tense.
Bruce Springsteen
Blame it on the lies that killed us. Blame it on the truth that ran us down.
Bruce Springsteen
The Clash were a major influence on my own music. They were the best rock 'n' roll band. Thanks, Joe.
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
Baby, this town rips the bones from our back it's a death trap, it's a suicide rap. We got to get out while we're young.
Bruce Springsteen
Your legs were heaven, your breasts were the alter, your body was the holy land.
Bruce Springsteen
Did God make man in a breath of holy fire, or did he crawl on up out of the muck and mire?
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
Wendy, let me in, I wanna be your friend. I wanna guard your dreams and visions.
Bruce Springsteen
Once you get into the book, you've got to constantly find your - the rhythm of your prose. And it ends up being quite a musical experience either way.
Bruce Springsteen
I was looking for some way to put my music to some service on a nightly basis. You go into a town, you play a little music, you leave something behind. That idea connected us to the local community. It was a very simple idea, but it really resonated with me.
Bruce Springsteen
I know your mama she don't like me, cause I play in a rock and roll band.
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
I've always loved the fact that Bob's [Dylan] been able to sustain his mystery over 50 or 60 years.
