More quotes by Bruce Springsteen
My heart's dark, but it's rising. I'm pulling all the faith I can see.
Bruce Springsteen
The moment you begin to depend on audience reaction, you're doing the wrong thing. You're doin' it wrong, it's a mistake, it's not right. You can't allow yourself, no matter what, to depend on them.
Bruce Springsteen
You can't start a fire Worrying 'bout your little world falling apart This gun's for hire Even if we're just dancing in the dark
Bruce Springsteen
Nobody wins unless everybody wins.
Bruce Springsteen
Someday we'll look back on this and it will all seem funny.
Bruce Springsteen
Most artists I know had one person in their life who told them they were the second coming of the baby Jesus, and another person that told them they weren't worth anything, and they believed them both, you know?
Bruce Springsteen
You make your music, then you try to find whatever audience is out there for it.
Bruce Springsteen
Gonna be a twister to blow everything down That ain't got the faith to stand its ground Blow away the dreams that tear you apart Blow away the dreams that break your heart Blow away the lies that leave you nothing but lost and brokenhearted.
Bruce Springsteen
You can beat on your chest, hell, any monkey can.
Bruce Springsteen
Show a little faith there is magic in the night. You ain't a beauty, but hey you're alright, and that's alright with me.
Bruce Springsteen
For one kiss, darling, I swear everything I would give. Cause you're a walking, talking reason to live.
Bruce Springsteen
Somewhere along the way, the idea, which I think was initially to get some fair transaction between people, went out the window. And what came in was, the most you can get and the least you can give. That's why cars are the way they are nowadays. It's just an erosion of all the things that were true and right about the original idea.
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
Hey man, did you see that? His body hit the street with such a beautiful thud.
Bruce Springsteen
It doesn't matter what happened last night or the night - or tomorrow night. It's all about what you're doing with this audience right now.
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
Plus, you know, when I was young, there was a lot of respect for clowning in rock music - look at Little Richard. It was a part of the whole thing, and I always also believed that it released the audience.
Bruce Springsteen
I know your mama she don't like me, cause I play in a rock and roll band.
Bruce Springsteen
Mister, I ain't a boy, no I'm a man, and i believe in a promised land.
Bruce Springsteen
Blame it on the lies that killed us. Blame it on the truth that ran us down.
