Mental illness and creativity are - it's a thin line in between the two. I tend to believe that.

The criminal ineptitude makes you furious.

Every fool has a reason for feeling sorry for himself.

I think when you're a child, you just cling to the basics, which is the basic story of Jesus and the crucifixion and hell and eternal punishment and the flames. This was all stuff that was - forget when you're young.
Bruce Springsteen

The songs themselves do broaden out as time passes and take on subtly different meanings, take on more meaning, I find.
Bruce Springsteen

Music was my way of keeping people from looking through and around me. I wanted the heavies to know I was around.

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.

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.

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.

The drummer in my first band was killed in Vietnam. He kind of signed up and joined the marines. Bart Hanes was his name. He was one of those guys that was jokin' all the time, always playin' the clown.

In a restless heart the seed of betrayal lay.

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.
Bruce Springsteen

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.

They put a rifle in my hand, sent me off to a foreign land to go and kill the Yellow man.

An outgrowth of having a long career is that I have a lot of interesting things around that I get to revisit, and someday get to the place where they become something that I want to do next.

I took a month long vacation in the stratosphere, and you know it's very hard to hold your breath.

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

I don't like to write rhetorically or get on a soapbox. I try to make the stuff multi-layered, so that it always has a life outside its social context. I don't believe that you can tell people anything you can only draw them in.
