Bruce Springsteen
If you're good, you're always looking over your shoulder.
Bruce Springsteen
An audience is not brought to you or given to you it's something that you fight for.
Bruce Springsteen

The wonderful thing about rock music is even if you hate the other person, sometimes you need him more, you know. In other words if he's the guy that made that sound, he's the guy that made that sound, and without that guy making that sound, you don't have a band, you know.

Bruce Springsteen
Well I got this guitar and I learned how to make it talk.
Bruce Springsteen
I've found that giving 100% to your job isn't the same as giving 100% of your life to your job. Very often when I thought I was giving 100% of my life to my job, I was simply obsessing over something.
Bruce Springsteen
If they had told me I was the janitor and would have to mop up and clean the toilets after the show in order to play, I probably would have done it.
Bruce Springsteen
When you get fat and lose your hunger. That is when you know the sellout has happened.
Bruce Springsteen
The hungry and the haunted explode in a rock'n'roll band.
Bruce Springsteen
In the third grade, a nun stuffed me in a garbage can under her desk because she said that's where I belonged. I also had the distinction of being the only altar boy knocked down by a priest during mass.
Bruce Springsteen
You get used to anything, sooner or later it just becomes your life.
Bruce Springsteen
I was in my late 20s, in the process of shaping my musical outlook and what I wanted it to be about, when I first encountered Woody Guthrie.
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
