When you have three teenagers, it gives a whole new meaning to "homeland security." ~ Bruce Springsteen
Springsteen quotes by Bruce Springsteen
I got a house full of Rembrandts and priceless art, and all the little girls they wanna tear me apart. ~ Bruce Springsteen
Springsteen quotes by Bruce Springsteen
It's hard to be a saint in the city. ~ Bruce Springsteen
Springsteen quotes by Bruce Springsteen
Springsteen on that record started writing less about having your wind in your hair and turning the radio up and more about being dragged down by adult things. Regular people trying to get ahead. A little less mythical and romantic, and more real. It's a really spectacular record for that reason. ~ Craig Finn
Springsteen quotes by Craig Finn
My personal style depends on what I'm doing or where I am. I wear a lot of jeans and jean shorts and t-shirts, and I love leather jackets; it's pretty relaxed. ~ Jessica Springsteen
Springsteen quotes by Jessica Springsteen
You write about what you love and you write about things you're trying to make sense of. ~ Bruce Springsteen
Springsteen quotes by 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
Springsteen quotes by Bruce Springsteen
We have some goats, some chickens, and we used to have pigs. There used to be two ostriches as well, but they were a little bit violent, so we had to give them away. When we were little, we used to play with the goats all the time. We each had our own little goat, and we'd go and run around with them. ~ Jessica Springsteen
Springsteen quotes by Jessica Springsteen
For me or a Bruce Springsteen to sit up in our ivory towers and make comments about racism, well, were not really in it, are we? ~ John Mellencamp
Springsteen quotes by John Mellencamp
Basically, I was pretty ostracized in my hometown. Me and a few other guys were the town freaks- and there were many occasions when we were dodging getting beaten up ourselves. ~ Bruce Springsteen
Springsteen quotes by Bruce Springsteen
I understand that it's the music that keeps me alive ... That's my lifeblood. And to give that up for, like, the TV, the cars, the houses - that's not the American dream. That's the booby prize, in the end. Those are the booby prizes. And if you fall for them - if, when you achieve them, you believe that this is the end in and of itself - then you've been suckered in. Because those are the consolation prizes, if you're not careful, for selling yourself out, or letting the best of yourself slip away. ~ Bruce Springsteen
Springsteen quotes by Bruce Springsteen
I'm the kind of person, I think a lot about everything. Nothin' I can do about it. It's like, I'm a thinkin' fool. That's a big part of me. ~ Bruce Springsteen
Springsteen quotes by Bruce Springsteen
Music was my way of keeping people from looking through and around me. I wanted the heavies to know I was around. ~ Bruce Springsteen
Springsteen quotes by Bruce Springsteen
And whether you're drawn to gospel music or church music or honky-tonk music, it informs your character and it informs your talent. ~ Bruce Springsteen
Springsteen quotes by Bruce Springsteen
The label of liberalism is hardly a sentence to public ignominy: otherwise Bruce Springsteen would still be rehabilitating used Cadillacs in Asbury Park and Jane Fonda, for all we know, would be just another overweight housewife. ~ Barbara Ehrenreich
Springsteen quotes by Barbara Ehrenreich
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
Springsteen quotes by Bruce Springsteen
Your legs were heaven, your breasts were the alter, your body was the holy land. ~ Bruce Springsteen
Springsteen quotes by Bruce Springsteen
Most of my writing is emotionally autobiographical. You've got to pull up the things that mean something to you in order for them to mean anything to your audience. That's how they know you're not kidding. ~ Bruce Springsteen
Springsteen quotes by Bruce Springsteen
All you can do is show people ... You tell stories that are true and compelling. ~ Bruce Springsteen
Springsteen quotes by Bruce Springsteen
We struggled together and sometimes with one another. We took care of one another. In the end, we kept faith in each other. ~ Bruce Springsteen
Springsteen quotes by Bruce Springsteen
All the music I loved as a child, people thought it was junk. People were unaware of the subtext in so many of those records, but if you were a kid, you were just completely tuned in, even though you didn't always say - you wouldn't dare say it was beautiful. ~ Bruce Springsteen
Springsteen quotes by Bruce Springsteen
Blind faith in your leaders, or in anything, will get you killed. ~ Bruce Springsteen
Springsteen quotes by Bruce Springsteen
Roy Orbison is singing for the lonely, hey, that's me and I want you only. ~ Bruce Springsteen
Springsteen quotes by Bruce Springsteen
No, I always felt that amongst my core fans- because there was a level of popularity that I had in the mid '80s that was sort of a bump on the scale- they fundamentally understood the values that are at work in my work. ~ Bruce Springsteen
Springsteen quotes by Bruce Springsteen
A lot of political music to me can be rather pedantic and corny, and when it's done right - like Bruce Springsteen or Jackson Browne or great satire from Randy Newman, there's nothing better. ~ Bonnie Raitt
Springsteen quotes by Bonnie Raitt
Got a wife and kid in Baltimore Jack, I went out for a ride and I never went back. Like a river that don't know where it's flowing, I took a wrong turn and I just kept going. ~ Bruce Springsteen
Springsteen quotes by Bruce Springsteen
Luckily for parents, children have great resilience and a generous ability to forgive. ~ Bruce Springsteen
Springsteen quotes by Bruce Springsteen
I always look terrible before the show. That's when I feel worst. And after the show it's like a million bucks. Simple as that. You feel a little tired but you never feel better. Nothing makes me feel as good as those hours between when you walk offstage, until I go to bed. That's the hours that I live for. ~ Bruce Springsteen
Springsteen quotes by Bruce Springsteen
If you look at the history of popular music, the most successful musicians have started out being really marginal and esoteric. The Beatles and the Rolling Stones. Madonna. Prince. Bruce Springsteen. Fleetwood Mac. David Bowie. Public Enemy. Nirvana. ~ Moby
Springsteen quotes by Moby
I'm a huge Bruce Springsteen and Duran Duran fan. ~ Rita Ora
Springsteen quotes by Rita Ora
The story I have told throughout my work life I could not have told as well without Clarence. ~ Bruce Springsteen
Springsteen quotes by Bruce Springsteen
Steve Earle, the thinking man's Bruce Springsteen, ~ Ian McEwan
Springsteen quotes by Ian McEwan
Blood moon risin' in a sky of black dust, tell me baby, who do you trust? ~ Bruce Springsteen
Springsteen quotes by Bruce Springsteen
My heart's dark, but it's rising. I'm pulling all the faith I can see. ~ Bruce Springsteen
Springsteen quotes by Bruce Springsteen
Madman drummers, bummers, Indians in the summer with a teenage diplomat. In the dumps with the mumps as the adolescent pumps his way into his hat. ~ Bruce Springsteen
Springsteen quotes by Bruce Springsteen
It was time to call on my old paisan Steve Van Zandt. ~ Bruce Springsteen
Springsteen quotes by Bruce Springsteen
The past is never the past. It is always present. And you better reckon with it in your life and in your daily experience, or it will get you. It will get you really bad. ~ Bruce Springsteen
Springsteen quotes by Bruce Springsteen
To stand in the pit, shoulder to shoulder, sweating and singing with people you hardly know is an amazing thing. "I'm such a bad singer that I hardly sing around my own home but I have no trouble screeching at the top of my lungs in a huge stadium. In that sense a Springsteen concert is kind of a religious thing. Everyone knows what and when to sing, when to raise their arms, to pogo-dance, when to be silent and respectful. The music of course also makes you feel connected to something 'higher'. ~ Greg Lewis
Springsteen quotes by Greg Lewis
You're born into this life paying for the sins of somebody else's past. ~ Bruce Springsteen
Springsteen quotes by Bruce Springsteen
You have moments of clarity, things become clear to you that you didn't understand before. But there's never any making ends meet or finding any time of longstanding peace of mind about something. ~ Bruce Springsteen
Springsteen quotes by Bruce Springsteen
The only guest star I really wanted to get but didn't was Bruce Springsteen. ~ Mike Scully
Springsteen quotes by Mike Scully
You ask for your audience's investment in your music; you're in a relationship with them. And their relationship with the E Street Band is separate from whatever else I might do. I like the idea of us being something that people rely on. ~ Bruce Springsteen
Springsteen quotes by Bruce Springsteen
I think you can get to a point where nihilism, if that's the right word, is overwhelming, and the basic laws that society has set up - either religious or social laws - become meaningless. ~ Bruce Springsteen
Springsteen quotes by Bruce Springsteen
The drummer in my first band was killed in Vietnam. He kind of signed up and joined the marines. Bart Hanes was his name. He was one of those guys that was jokin' all the time, always playin' the clown. ~ Bruce Springsteen
Springsteen quotes by Bruce Springsteen
I think I'm the oldest new Bob Dylan around. I predate Bruce Springsteen, Steve Forbat and John Prine. I was probably the first of the new Bob Dylans. ~ Loudon Wainwright III
Springsteen quotes by Loudon Wainwright III
I do a lot of curiosity buying; I buy it if I like the album cover, I buy it if I like the name of the band, anything that sparks my imagination. ~ Bruce Springsteen
Springsteen quotes by Bruce Springsteen
If Bruce Springsteen, Harlan Howard, or Tom Waits can tell a character's whole story in four minutes, maybe you don't need as many words as you think to make an impact. ~ Tim Leffel
Springsteen quotes by Tim Leffel
Your success story is a bigger story than whatever you're trying to say on stage. Success makes life easier. It doesn't make living easier. ~ Bruce Springsteen
Springsteen quotes by Bruce Springsteen
Judge said, what you got in your defense son? Fifty-seven channels and nothing on. ~ Bruce Springsteen
Springsteen quotes by Bruce Springsteen
You can't start a fire without a spark ~ Bruce Springsteen
Springsteen quotes by Bruce Springsteen
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
Springsteen quotes by Bruce Springsteen
This was a man who didn't see it coming . . . he WAS it coming, and without him, white America, you would not look or act or think the way you do. ~ Bruce Springsteen
Springsteen quotes by Bruce Springsteen
Use it, Rosie, that's what it's there for. ~ Bruce Springsteen
Springsteen quotes by Bruce Springsteen
Grace abounds in contemporary movies, books, novels, films and music. If God is not in the whirlwind, He may be in a Woody Allen film, or a Bruce Springsteen concert. Most people understand imagery and symbol better than doctrine and dogma. Images touch hearts and awaken imaginations. One theologian suggested that Springsteen's 'Tunnel of Love' album, in which he symbolically sings of sin, death, despair and redemption, is more important for Catholics than the Pope's last visit when he spoke of morality only in doctrinal propositions. ~ Brennan Manning
Springsteen quotes by Brennan Manning
I said 'boss' and I meant that, advance you spent that
Corvette so clean, you'll think Bruce Springsteen rent that ~ Rick Ross
Springsteen quotes by Rick Ross
Go-kart Mozart was checking out the weather chart to see if it was safe outside. ~ Bruce Springsteen
Springsteen quotes by Bruce Springsteen
Think of it this way: performing is like sprinting while screaming for three, four minutes. And then you do it again. And then you do it again. And then you walk a little, shouting the whole time. And so on. Your adrenaline quickly overwhelms your conditioning. ~ Bruce Springsteen
Springsteen quotes by Bruce Springsteen
I think working hard at anything when you're young and getting positive results, it's always an incredible feeling to see that. ~ Jessica Springsteen
Springsteen quotes by Jessica Springsteen
On any given night, what allows me to get to that higher ground is the audience. ~ Bruce Springsteen
Springsteen quotes by Bruce Springsteen
This Thursday, Barack Obama is gonna give his acceptance speech, and reportedly it's going to include performances by Bon Jovi and Bruce Springsteen. Yeah. And they say Obama's not black enough! ~ Conan O'Brien
Springsteen quotes by Conan O'Brien
I tend to be a subscriber to the idea that you have everything you need by the time you're 12 years old to do interesting writing for most of the rest of your life - certainly by the time you're 18. ~ Bruce Springsteen
Springsteen quotes by Bruce Springsteen
I've had an experience through music that has touched almost every part of me. It educated me in ways that I didn't get educated in school. So we try to lay on a bit of that, through being funny, being serious, playing hard. ~ Bruce Springsteen
Springsteen quotes by Bruce Springsteen
You've always got to remember, rock and roll's never been about giving up. For me, for a lot of kids, it was a totally positive force ... not optimistic all the time, but positive. It was never
never
a bout surrender. ~ Bruce Springsteen
Springsteen quotes by Bruce Springsteen
It's a fairytale so tragic there's no prince to break the spell. I don't believe in magic, but for you I will ~ Bruce Springsteen
Springsteen quotes by Bruce Springsteen
Don't take yourself too seriously. And take yourself as seriously as death itself. ~ Bruce Springsteen
Springsteen quotes by Bruce Springsteen
You can beat on your chest, hell, any monkey can. ~ Bruce Springsteen
Springsteen quotes by Bruce Springsteen
I have to write and play. If I became an electrician tomorrow, I'd still come home at night and write songs. ~ Bruce Springsteen
Springsteen quotes by Bruce Springsteen
Write what's up there." Sister Ignatius pointed at her temple. "As a great man once said, this is a secret garden. We've all got one of those."
"Jesus?"
"No, Bruce Springsteen. ~ Cecelia Ahern
Springsteen quotes by Cecelia Ahern
I know I promised you
I wouldn't make a scene
in front of all your friends
but is it wrong if I write
your name on the soles
of my tennis shoes is it
wrong if I want to stand
next to you in gym class
your legs remind me of
a Bruce Springsteen song
I would do a hundred sit-
ups for you & whisper your
name every time & kiss my
knees pretending they are you ~ Nate Slawson
Springsteen quotes by Nate Slawson
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
Springsteen quotes by Bruce Springsteen
I believe that Bruce Springsteen is terrific, but I don't think he's God. That's the only real disagreement between me and my wife. Music is really fun, and it is something that my wife and I like to share. ~ Russ Feingold
Springsteen quotes by Russ Feingold
It's always felt natural, because I'm generally very comfortable with people. ~ Bruce Springsteen
Springsteen quotes by Bruce Springsteen
When life comes knockin', it's the heartbroken doo-wop singer who understands regret and the price of loving, the hard-living soul man who understands "I take what I want, I'm a bad go-getter, yeah..." and the Motown divas, men and women, who know you've got to play a little bit of the white man's/rich man's game. You have to make thoughtful compromises that don't sell out your soul, that let you reach just a little bit higher until your moment comes and then you set the rules. This was the credo all along Route 9 and you'd better understand it or else you would die an ugly musical death while risking bodily injury on Saturday night. ~ Bruce Springsteen
Springsteen quotes by Bruce Springsteen
Don't take yourself too seriously. Take yourself as seriously as death itself. Don't worry. Worry your ass off. Have iron-clad confidence, but doubt. It keeps you alive and alert! Believe you are the baddest ass in town – and [that] you suck! It keeps you honest. Be able to keep two completely contradictory ideas alive and well inside of your heart and head at all times. If it doesn't drive you crazy, it will make you strong. And when you walk on stage tonight to bring the noise, treat it like it's all we have – and then remember it's only rock' n' roll. ~ Bruce Springsteen
Springsteen quotes by Bruce Springsteen
I saw rock n' roll future and its name is Bruce Springsteen. ~ Jon Landau
Springsteen quotes by Jon Landau
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
Springsteen quotes by Bruce Springsteen
I'm ready to grow young again ~ Bruce Springsteen
Springsteen 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
Springsteen quotes by Bruce Springsteen
During the Shadows' five-minute break I was introduced to their front man, Steve Van Zandt. The Castiles by now had a significant reputation, so he knew who I was; we talked a little shop, we hit it off and he went back on for his next set. So began one of the longest and greatest friendships of my life. ~ Bruce Springsteen
Springsteen quotes by Bruce Springsteen
I took a month long vacation in the stratosphere, and you know it's very hard to hold your breath. ~ Bruce Springsteen
Springsteen quotes by Bruce Springsteen
We honor our parents by carrying their best forward and laying the rest down. By fighting and taming the demons that laid them low and now reside in us. ~ Bruce Springsteen
Springsteen quotes by Bruce Springsteen
Is there anybody alive out there? ~ Bruce Springsteen
Springsteen quotes by 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
Springsteen quotes by Bruce Springsteen
You've got to be able to hold a lot of contradictory ideas in your mind without going nuts. I feel like to do my job right, when I walk out on stage I've got to feel like it's the most important thing in the world. Also I've got to feel like, well, it's only rock and roll. Somehow you've got to believe both of those things. ~ Bruce Springsteen
Springsteen quotes by Bruce Springsteen
There's an opera out on the turnpike, there's a ballet being fought out in the alley. ~ Bruce Springsteen
Springsteen quotes by Bruce Springsteen
As a child you don't question your parents' choices. You accept them. They are justified by the godlike status of parenthood. ~ Bruce Springsteen
Springsteen quotes by Bruce Springsteen
A personal highlight was probably when we got a No. 1 in the U.K. and when the album went to No. 1 in America. The top four that week was us, Adele, Guns N' Roses and Bruce Springsteen. It was ridiculous seeing those names there. Being the first band from the U.K. and Ireland to go to America and debut at No. 1 is just unbelievable. ~ Niall Horan
Springsteen quotes by Niall Horan
My soul is lost, my friend, tell me how do I begin again? My city's in ruins, my city's in ruins. ~ Bruce Springsteen
Springsteen quotes by Bruce Springsteen
Did God make man in a breath of holy fire, or did he crawl on up out of the muck and mire? ~ Bruce Springsteen
Springsteen quotes by Bruce Springsteen
The press has let the country down. It's taken a very amoral stand, in that essential issues are often portrayed as simply one side says this and the other side says that. I think that Fox News and the Republican right have intimidated the press into an incredible self-consciousness about appearing objective and backed them into a corner of sorts where they have ceded some of their responsibility and righteous power. ~ Bruce Springsteen
Springsteen quotes by Bruce Springsteen
With a boulder on my shoulder
Feeling kinda older, I tripped the merry-go-round. ~ Bruce Springsteen
Springsteen quotes by Bruce Springsteen
The wise men were all fools, what to do? ~ Bruce Springsteen
Springsteen quotes by Bruce Springsteen
Voices in the study of positive psychology, framed the traits as hope, wisdom, creativity, future-mindedness, courage, spirituality, responsibility, and perseverance. V. Paraphrased from a speech given by Bruce Springsteen ~ Martin Dugard
Springsteen quotes by Martin Dugard
She went away, she cut me like a knife Hello beautiful thing, maybe you could save my life In just a glance, down here on magic street Loves a fool's dance And I ain't got much sense, but I still got my feet. ~ Bruce Springsteen
Springsteen quotes by Bruce Springsteen
Nobody wins unless everybody wins. ~ Bruce Springsteen
Springsteen quotes by Bruce Springsteen
You can't shut off the risk and the pain without losing the love that remains. ~ Bruce Springsteen
Springsteen quotes by Bruce Springsteen
I love the intimate, single spotlight, troubadour-y quiet, delicate moments. But I also love Springsteen and screaming and shouting. ~ James Bay
Springsteen quotes by James Bay
Meet me in a land of hopes and dreams. ~ Bruce Springsteen
Springsteen quotes by Bruce Springsteen
I don't think people expect Bruce Springsteen to come out in a pink satin jacket, but Rod Stewart, they do. And I like doing it; I don't wear it just because I think I have to. I'm a very flamboyant person. ~ Rod Stewart
Springsteen quotes by Rod Stewart
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
Springsteen quotes by Bruce Springsteen
