Quote

So I bought a forty-four magnum, it was solid steel cast, and in the blessed name of Elvis, well I just let it blast 'til my TV lay in pieces.

More quotes by 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.

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

You ain't a beauty but, hey, you're all right.

You make your music, then you try to find whatever audience is out there for it.

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.

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

Your success story is a bigger story than whatever you're trying to say on stage. Success makes life easier. It doesn't make living easier.
Bruce Springsteen

I like narrative storytelling as being part of a tradition, a folk tradition.
Bruce Springsteen

All people have is hope. That's what brings the next day and whatever that day may bring... A hope grounded in the real world of living, friendship, work, family...

But it's a sad man my friend who's livin' in his own skin And can't stand the company. Every fool's got a reason to feelin' sorry for himself And turn his heart to stone. Tonight this fool's halfway to heaven and just a mile outta hell And I feel like I'm comin' home.

I know your mama she don't like me, cause I play in a rock and roll band.
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
Image
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.

It's time to impeach the president and get a man in there to get us out of this mess.

It's a sad man my friend who's livin' in his own skin and can't stand the company.

Mister, I ain't a boy, no I'm a man, and i believe in a promised land.

You weren't supposed to hear Elvis Presley. You weren't supposed to hear Jerry Lee Lewis. You weren't supposed to hear Robert Johnson. You weren't supposed to hear Hank Williams. And they told the story of the secret America.

If they had told me I was the janitor and would have to mop up and clean the toilets after the show in order to play, I probably would have done it.
Bruce Springsteen

A time comes when you need to stop waiting for the man you want to become and start being the man you want to be.

We struggled together, and sometimes, we struggled with one another... We took care of one another... In the end, we kept faith in each other.
