Just sitting around waiting for my life to begin, while it was all just slipping away.
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
Nobody wins unless everybody wins.
Bruce Springsteen

Bruce Springsteen
You can beat on your chest, hell, any monkey can.
Bruce Springsteen
Being an artist is this kind of occupation in which you have to make people care about your obsession.
