More quotes by Bruce Springsteen
I have spent my life judging the distance between American reality and the American dream.
Bruce Springsteen
I was a guitar player on the streets of Asbury Park and already a member in good standing amongst those who lie in service of the truth - artists with a small A. But I held four clean aces. I had youth, almost a decade of hardcore bar band experience, a good group of homegrown musicians who were attuned to my performance style, and a story to tell.
Bruce Springsteen
I had a ten-piece band when I was 21 years old, the Bruce Springsteen Band. This is just a slightly expanded version of a band I had before I ever signed a record contract. We had singers and horns.
Bruce Springsteen
I couldn't worry about whether I`m gonna make it onstage or not. You can't. You just gotta do it. And if you do, you do, and if you don't, you don't, and then something else happens. That's the point of the live performance.
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
You make your music, then you try to find whatever audience is out there for it.
Bruce Springsteen
I guess there's just a meanness in this world
Bruce Springsteen
Well I got this guitar and I learned how to make it talk.
Bruce Springsteen
Baby, this town rips the bones from our back it's a death trap, it's a suicide rap. We got to get out while we're young.
Bruce Springsteen
I guess my view of America is of a real bighearted country, real compassionate.
Bruce Springsteen
In a restless heart the seed of betrayal lay.
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
Just sitting around waiting for my life to begin, while it was all just slipping away.
Bruce Springsteen
I never start with a political point of view. I believe that your politics are emotionally and psychologically determined by your early experiences.
Bruce Springsteen
I looked at myself, and I just said, well, you know, I can sing but I'm not the greatest singer in the world. I can play guitar very well, but I'm not the greatest guitar player in the world... And so I said, well, if I'm going to project an individuality, it's going to have to be in my writing.
Bruce Springsteen
Sometimes I do an automatic songs, songs that you don't really think about, or work on. You just look back and it sorta surprises you.
Bruce Springsteen
We're gonna play some pool, skip some school, act real cool, stay out all night, it's gonna be alright.
Bruce Springsteen
Pessimism and optimism are slammed up against each other in my records, the tension between them is where it's all at, it's what lights the fire.
Bruce Springsteen
Here everybody has a neighbor Everybody has a friend Everybody has a reason to begin again.
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.
