More quotes by Bruce Springsteen
All I try to do is write music that feels meaningful to me, that has commitment and passion behind it.

Bruce Springsteen
They say ya gotta stay hungry... Hey Baby...I'm just about starvin' tonight!
Bruce Springsteen
The past is never the past. It is always present. And you better reckon with it in your life and in your daily experience, or it will get you. It will get you really bad.
Bruce Springsteen
Success makes life easier. It doesn't make living easier.

Bruce Springsteen
I always write with an audience in mind. If I feel that [connection] coming back at me then I feel like I'm doing my job. That's why people come to my music - for some emotional experience or a perspective, either on their own lives, or on the world that they're living in.
Bruce Springsteen
The street's alive as secret debts are paid, Contacts made, they vanished unseen. Kids flash guitars just like switch-blades Hustling for the record machine. The hungry and the hunted explode into rock'n'roll bands That face off against each other out in the street, down in Jungleland.
Bruce Springsteen
Every fool has a reason for feeling sorry for himself.
Bruce Springsteen
Tonight this fool's halfway to heaven and just a mile outta hell And I feel like I'm comin' home.
Bruce Springsteen
I held four clean aces. I had youth, almost a decade of hard-core bar band experience, a good group of homegrown musicians who were attuned to my performance style and a story to tell.
Bruce Springsteen
Wendy, let me in, I wanna be your friend. I wanna guard your dreams and visions.
Bruce Springsteen
I had a ten-piece band when I was 21 years old, the Bruce Springsteen Band. This is just a slightly expanded version of a band I had before I ever signed a record contract. We had singers and horns.
Bruce Springsteen
An audience is not brought to you or given to you it's something that you fight for.
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
You can't start a fire without a spark
