More quotes by Bruce Springsteen
For one kiss, darling, I swear everything I would give. Cause you're a walking, talking reason to live.
Bruce Springsteen
Being an artist is this kind of occupation in which you have to make people care about your obsession.
Bruce Springsteen
The highway's jammed with broken heroes on a last chance power drive.
Bruce Springsteen
I want to spit in the face of these badlands.
Bruce Springsteen
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'.
Bruce Springsteen
My only general rule was to steer away from things I played with the band over the past couple of tours. I was interested in re-shaping the Rising material for live shows, so people could hear the bare bones of that.
Bruce Springsteen
You can go from doing something quite silly to something dead serious in the blink of an eye, and if you're making those connections with your audience then they're going to go right along with it.
Bruce Springsteen
I still like to go to record stores, I like to just wander around and I'll buy whatever catches my attention.
Bruce Springsteen
I know your mama she don't like me, cause I play in a rock and roll band.
Bruce Springsteen
You still had to find the music inside your language. You know, it was - that's a big part of what sort of moved me to begin writing the book. I wrote a little essay and I felt, yeah, this is a good voice. This is a good feeling. It feels like me.
Bruce Springsteen
If you listen to the great Beatle records, the earliest ones where the lyrics are incredibly simple. Why are they still beautiful? Well, they're beautifully sung, beautifully played, and the mathematics in them is elegant. They retain their elegance.
Bruce Springsteen
Somewhere along the way, the idea, which I think was initially to get some fair transaction between people, went out the window. And what came in was, the most you can get and the least you can give. That's why cars are the way they are nowadays. It's just an erosion of all the things that were true and right about the original idea.
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
The only thing I know as I get older is that I don't really need to be No. 1.
Bruce Springsteen
I think that, when you're writing your songs, there's always a debate about whether, is that you in the song? Is it not you in the song?
Bruce Springsteen
I was always concerned with writing to my age at a particular moment. That was the way I would keep faith with the audience that supported me as I went along.
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.

I'm ready to grow young again
Bruce Springsteen
I was looking for some way to put my music to some service on a nightly basis. You go into a town, you play a little music, you leave something behind. That idea connected us to the local community. It was a very simple idea, but it really resonated with me.
Bruce Springsteen
The Clash were a major influence on my own music. They were the best rock 'n' roll band. Thanks, Joe.
