More quotes by Bruce Springsteen
I realized the only time I felt complete and peaceful was while I was playing or shortly afterwards, even though it was in front of thousands of other people, which most people wouldn't consider to be a safe place.
Bruce Springsteen
Poor man wanna be rich, rich man wanna be king, and a king ain't satisfied until he rules everything.
Bruce Springsteen
Plus, you know, when I was young, there was a lot of respect for clowning in rock music - look at Little Richard. It was a part of the whole thing, and I always also believed that it released the audience.
Bruce Springsteen
I'm ready to grow young again
Bruce Springsteen
Well now everything dies baby that's a fact But maybe everything that dies someday comes back.
Bruce Springsteen
You ride in a limousine the first time, it's a big thrill but after that it's just a stupid car.
Bruce Springsteen
Your legs were heaven, your breasts were the alter, your body was the holy land.
Bruce Springsteen
Time slips away and leaves you with nothing, mister, but boring stories of glory days.
Bruce Springsteen
You ain't a beauty but, hey, you're all right.
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
In the early years, I found a voice that was my voice and also partly my father's voice. But isn't that what you always do? Why do kids at 5 years old go into the closet and put their daddy's shoes on? Hey, my kids do it.
Bruce Springsteen
Born down in a dead man's town, The first kick I took was when I hit the ground, You end up like a dog that's been beat too much, Till you spend half your life just covering up...
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 looked at myself, and I just said, well, you know, I can sing but I'm not the greatest singer in the world. I can play guitar very well, but I'm not the greatest guitar player in the world... And so I said, well, if I'm going to project an individuality, it's going to have to be in my writing.
Bruce Springsteen
If you're an artist, you try to keep an ear to the ground and an ear to your heart.
Bruce Springsteen
They put a rifle in my hand, sent me off to a foreign land to go and kill the Yellow man.
Bruce Springsteen
If I have a song that I feel is really one of my best songs, I like it to have a formal studio recording because I believe that something being officially released on a studio record gives it a certain authority that it doesn't quite have if it comes out on a live album or is just a part of your show, you know.
Bruce Springsteen
Walk tall, or baby don't walk at all.
Bruce Springsteen
When I was young I was very shy and that was my personality. I was a pretty sensitive kid and quite neurotic, filled with a lot of anxiety.
Bruce Springsteen
You can hide beneath the covers and study your pain, make crosses from your lovers, throw roses in the rain. Waste your summer praying in vain, for a savior to rise from these streets.
Bruce Springsteen
