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.

More quotes by Bruce Springsteen
She's a walkin', talkin' reason to live.
Bruce Springsteen
Put your makeup on, fix your hair up pretty. And meet me tonight in Atlantic City
Bruce Springsteen
You can revisit - the wonderful thing about my job is you can revisit your 22-year-old self or your 24-year-old self any particular night you want. The songs pick up some extra resonance, I hope, but they're still - they're there, and I can revisit that period of my life when I choose. So it's quite a nice experience.
Bruce Springsteen
The life of a rock & roll band will last as long as you can look down into the audience and see yourself.
Bruce Springsteen
The wonderful thing about rock music is even if you hate the other person, sometimes you need him more, you know. In other words if he's the guy that made that sound, he's the guy that made that sound, and without that guy making that sound, you don't have a band, you know.
Bruce Springsteen
The school system only recognizes one type of intelligence. There are so many different types of intelligence.
Bruce Springsteen
My heart's dark, but it's rising. I'm pulling all the faith I can see.
Bruce Springsteen
Let's raise our glass and let the hammer fly, yeah, this is the long good-bye.
Bruce Springsteen
The criminal ineptitude makes you furious.
Bruce Springsteen
I think life goes through a cycle of losing and refinding yourself all the time. Everyone has disappointments all the time, some of them pretty small, some of them pretty big.
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
You're born into this life paying for the sins of somebody else's past.
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
All I try to do is write music that feels meaningful to me, that has commitment and passion behind it.
Bruce Springsteen
I tend to be pessimistic. I want to believe in hope.
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
Success makes life easier. It doesn't make living easier.
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
The only thing I know as I get older is that I don't really need to be No. 1.
Bruce Springsteen
I was always concerned with writing to my age at a particular moment. That was the way I would keep faith with the audience that supported me as I went along.
Bruce Springsteen
