I'm used to writing something, it becomes a record, it comes out. Then I go perform and I play it and I get this immediate feedback from the audience. So that's been the pattern of my life.

More quotes by Bruce Springsteen
Poor man wanna be rich, rich man wanna be king, and a king ain't satisfied until he rules everything.
Bruce Springsteen
I don't want to make a record like in the '50s or the '60s or the '70s. I want to make a record like today, that`s right now.
Bruce Springsteen
If you're an artist, you try to keep an ear to the ground and an ear to your heart.
Bruce Springsteen
Well I got this guitar and I learned how to make it talk.
Bruce Springsteen
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
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
A dream of life comes to me, like a catfish dancing on the end of the line.
Bruce Springsteen
If you want truth to go round the world you must hire an express train to pull it but if you want a lie to go round the world, it will fly: it is as light as a feather, and a breath will carry it. It is well said in the old proverb, 'a lie will go round the world while truth is pulling its boots on'.
Bruce Springsteen
On any given night, what allows me to get to that higher ground is the audience.
Bruce Springsteen
Because we lived in the presence of the church and the convent and the rectory and the school 24-7. And this was an enormous cornerstone in the lives of my entire family. They were all pretty serious Catholic churchgoers.
Bruce Springsteen
Work creates an enormous sense of self and I saw that in my mother. She was an enormous, towering figure to me in the best possible way. I picked up a lot of things from her in the way that I work... I also picked up a lot of the failings of when your father doesn't have those things and that results in a house that turns into a minefield.
Bruce Springsteen
When I was very, very young, I decided that I was gonna catalogue my times because that's what other people who I admired did. That's what Bob Dylan did, that's what Frank Sinatra did, Hank Williams did, in very different ways.
Bruce Springsteen
Being an artist is this kind of occupation in which you have to make people care about your obsession.
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
Unions have been the only powerful and effective voice working people have ever had in the history of this country.
Bruce Springsteen
We struggled together, and sometimes, we struggled with one another... We took care of one another... In the end, we kept faith in each other.
Bruce Springsteen
I believe the war on poverty is a more American idea than the war on the war on poverty. I believe that most people feel like that. And I believe that it ain't over till it's over.
Bruce Springsteen
The audiences are there as a result of my history with the band but also as a result of my being able to reach people with a tune.
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
You make your music, then you try to find whatever audience is out there for it.
