More quotes by Bruce Springsteen
Success makes life easier. It doesn't make living easier.
Bruce Springsteen
An unfulfilled life makes a hard man.
Bruce Springsteen
I always wanted my music to influence the life you were living emotionally - with your family, your lover, your wife, and, at a certain point, with your children.
Bruce Springsteen
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
I had a ten-piece band when I was 21 years old, the Bruce Springsteen Band. This is just a slightly expanded version of a band I had before I ever signed a record contract. We had singers and horns.
Bruce Springsteen
Remember all the movies, Terry, we'd go see? Trying to learn how to walk like the heroes we thought we had to be And after all this time to find we're just like all the rest Stranded in the park and forced to confess To hiding on the Backstreets.
Bruce Springsteen
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.
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
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.
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
Mental illness and creativity are - it's a thin line in between the two. I tend to believe that.
Bruce Springsteen
The hungry and the haunted explode in a rock'n'roll band.
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
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...
Bruce Springsteen
I guess my view of America is of a real bighearted country, real compassionate.
Bruce Springsteen
I like narrative storytelling as being part of a tradition, a folk tradition.
Bruce Springsteen
I think you can't demonize somebody that's on the other side of the political spectrum, or you can't generalize about them.
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
Most of these - most people's stage personas are created out of the flotsam and jetsam of their internal geography.
Bruce Springsteen
Your legs were heaven, your breasts were the alter, your body was the holy land.
Bruce Springsteen
