There is a real patriotism underneath the best of my music but it is a critical, questioning and often angry patriotism.
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.

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

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.

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.

You ride in a limousine the first time, it's a big thrill but after that it's just a stupid car.
Bruce Springsteen
Image
There have been a lotta tough guys. There have been pretenders. And there have been contenders. But there is only one king.
Bruce Springsteen
Image
A dream of life comes to me, like a catfish dancing on the end of the line.
Bruce Springsteen
Image
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

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.

Remember all the movies, Terry, we'd go see? Trying to learn how to walk like the heroes we thought we had to be And after all this time to find we're just like all the rest Stranded in the park and forced to confess To hiding on the Backstreets.
Bruce Springsteen
Image
For me, once I count the band in, and I delve deep into my song, I feel a certain sort of integrity and integration that I rarely find in my daily life.
Bruce Springsteen
Image
I told a story with the E Street Band that was bigger and better than I could have done on my own.

Did God make man in a breath of holy fire, or did he crawl on up out of the muck and mire?

The poets down here don't write nothin' at all, they just stand back and let it all be.
