The moment you begin to depend on audience reaction, you're doing the wrong thing. You're doin' it wrong, it's a mistake, it's not right. You can't allow yourself, no matter what, to depend on them.

More quotes by Bruce Springsteen
In a restless heart the seed of betrayal lay.
Bruce Springsteen
Wendy, let me in, I wanna be your friend. I wanna guard your dreams and visions.
Bruce Springsteen
I had tried to go to college, and I didn't really fit in. I went to a real narrow-minded school where people gave me a lot of trouble, and I was hounded off the campus - I just looked different and acted different, so I left school.
Bruce Springsteen
When I was very, very young, I decided that I was gonna catalogue my times because that's what other people who I admired did. That's what Bob Dylan did, that's what Frank Sinatra did, Hank Williams did, in very different ways.
Bruce Springsteen
It's a sad man my friend who's livin' in his own skin and can't stand the company.
Bruce Springsteen
Your legs were heaven, your breasts were the alter, your body was the holy land.
Bruce Springsteen
The man on the radio says Elvis Presley's died. We drove to Memphis, the sky was hard and black.
Bruce Springsteen
I believe when your children are born that you are reborn in some fashion.
Bruce Springsteen
I think initially, our audiences were filled with young men. You know, our initial audience was a lot of young guys who I think were trying to - who you played a bit of a big brother role for and were trying to sort out a lot of the same things right - soon as Born To Run hit, you know? So it was something that I worked pretty hard on.
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
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 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
When you`re onstage you have a certain faith that somebody's gonna yell somethin' back. Some nights it's louder than other nights and some nights they do, and on some songs they don't. But that's the idea. I think when you begin to expect a reaction from an audience, it's a mistake.
Bruce Springsteen
The one thing I wished for my children is that they'd be readers.
Bruce Springsteen
It's time to impeach the president and get a man in there to get us out of this mess.
Bruce Springsteen
I don't want to make a record like in the '50s or the '60s or the '70s. I want to make a record like today, that`s right now.
Bruce Springsteen
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
I had no credit cards. I had no checks. I was cash only until I was probably 30 years old.
Bruce Springsteen
Well now I'm no hero, that's understood. All the redemption I can offer girl, is beneath this dirty hood. With a chance to make it good somehow, hey what else can we do now? Except roll down the window, and let the wind blow back your hair. Well the night's busting open, these two lanes will take us anywhere. We got one last chance to make it real.
Bruce Springsteen
But the star thing I can live with. The music I can't live without. And that's how it lays out for me, you know. I got as big an ego and enjoy the attention.
