Politics and life go hand in hand.
Bruce Springsteen
Image
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.

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.

Those wounds stay with you, and you turn them into a language and a purpose.
Bruce Springsteen

Certainly tolerance and acceptance were at the forefront of my music.
Bruce Springsteen

The different social forces that affected my parents' lives or my friends' lives or I saw around me became essential for me to write about.

Is a dream a lie if it don't come true? Or is it something worse?

I had no credit cards. I had no checks. I was cash only until I was probably 30 years old.
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.

Let's raise our glass and let the hammer fly, yeah, this is the long good-bye.
Bruce Springsteen

It's a town full of losers And I'm pulling out of here to win.
Bruce Springsteen

After 'Born to Run,' I had a reaction to my good fortune. With success, it felt like a lot of people who'd come before me lost some essential part of themselves. My greatest fear was that success was going to change or diminish that part of myself.
Bruce Springsteen

More than rich, more than famous, more than happy...I wanted to be great.
Bruce Springsteen
Image
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
Image
Well now everything dies baby that's a fact But maybe everything that dies someday comes back.
Bruce Springsteen
Image
If you see me performing, you're going, that guy is simply the most extroverted guy I've ever seen. But if you've seen me very often on a daily basis and all the while growing up, I was very, very introverted. Very introverted. So I have sort of the extremes of both of those characteristics.

T-Bone Burnett once said that much of rock music is simply someone going wahhh daddy.
Bruce Springsteen
Image
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.

If you want truth to go round the world you must hire an express train to pull it but if you want a lie to go round the world, it will fly: it is as light as a feather, and a breath will carry it. It is well said in the old proverb, 'a lie will go round the world while truth is pulling its boots on'.
