More quotes by 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
I tend to be pessimistic. I want to believe in hope.
Bruce Springsteen
They put a rifle in my hand, sent me off to a foreign land to go and kill the Yellow man.

Bruce Springsteen
I got a house full of Rembrandts and priceless art, and all the little girls they wanna tear me apart.
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
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
You're born into this life paying for the sins of somebody else's past.
Bruce Springsteen
You ride in a limousine the first time, it's a big thrill but after that it's just a stupid car.
Bruce Springsteen
Yeah, I had gay friends. The first thing I realized was that everybody's different, and it becomes obvious that all of the gay stereotypes are ridiculous.
Bruce Springsteen
Two hearts are better than one.
Bruce Springsteen
Basically, I was pretty ostracized in my hometown. Me and a few other guys were the town freaks- and there were many occasions when we were dodging getting beaten up ourselves.
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
You get used to anything, sooner or later it just becomes your life.
Bruce Springsteen
The light from the oncoming train focuses the mind.
Bruce Springsteen
The first day I can remember looking into a mirror and being able to stand what I saw was the day I had a guitar in my hand.
