The first time I heard Bob Dylan, I was in the car with my mother listening to WMCA, and on came that snare shot that sounded like somebody'd kicked open the door to your mind.

More quotes by Bruce Springsteen
Well I got this guitar and I learned how to make it talk.
Bruce Springsteen
The street's alive as secret debts are paid, Contacts made, they vanished unseen. Kids flash guitars just like switch-blades Hustling for the record machine. The hungry and the hunted explode into rock'n'roll bands That face off against each other out in the street, down in Jungleland.
Bruce Springsteen
All I try to do is write music that feels meaningful to me, that has commitment and passion behind it.
Bruce Springsteen
I hadn't performed by myself in a while. It feels very natural to me, and I assume people come for the very same reasons as they do when I'm with the band: to be moved, for something to happen to them.
Bruce Springsteen
The release date is just one day, but the record is forever.
Bruce Springsteen
When I first started in rock, I had a big guy's audience for my early records. I had a very straight image, particularly through the mid '80s.
Bruce Springsteen
In the early years, I found a voice that was my voice and also partly my father's voice. But isn't that what you always do? Why do kids at 5 years old go into the closet and put their daddy's shoes on? Hey, my kids do it.
Bruce Springsteen
I couldn't worry about whether I`m gonna make it onstage or not. You can't. You just gotta do it. And if you do, you do, and if you don't, you don't, and then something else happens. That's the point of the live performance.
Bruce Springsteen
For one kiss, darling, I swear everything I would give. Cause you're a walking, talking reason to live.
Bruce Springsteen
You can't start a fire without a spark
Bruce Springsteen
And whether you're drawn to gospel music or church music or honky-tonk music, it informs your character and it informs your talent.
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
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
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
Elvis Presley is all there is. There just ain't no more. Everything starts and ends with Elvis. He wrote the book. He is everything to do and not to do in the music business.
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
I held four clean aces. I had youth, almost a decade of hard-core bar band experience, a good group of homegrown musicians who were attuned to my performance style and a story to tell.
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 never start with a political point of view. I believe that your politics are emotionally and psychologically determined by your early experiences.
Bruce Springsteen
It's a town full of losers And I'm pulling out of here to win.
Bruce Springsteen
