The star thing I can live wit...

The star thing I can live with. The music I can't live without. And that's how it lays out for me, you know. I got as big an ego and enjoy the attention.

Bruce Springsteen 382 quotes

I have my ideas, I have my mu...

I have my ideas, I have my music and I also just enjoy showing off, so that's a big part of it. Also, I like to get up onstage and behave insanely or express myself physically, and the band can get pretty silly.

Bruce Springsteen 382 quotes

The only thing I can say abou...

The only thing I can say about having this type of success is that you can get yourself in trouble because basically the world is set open for you. People will say yes to anything you ask, so it's basically down to you and what you want or need.

Bruce Springsteen 382 quotes

If I have a song that I feel ...

If I have a song that I feel is really one of my best songs, I like it to have a formal studio recording because I believe that something being officially released on a studio record gives it a certain authority that it doesn't quite have if it comes out on a live album or is just a part of your show, you know.

Bruce Springsteen 382 quotes

In the past, some of the song...

In the past, some of the songs that were the most fun, and the most entertaining and rocking, fell by the wayside because I was concerned with what I was going to say and how I was going to say it.

Bruce Springsteen 382 quotes

I was always concerned with w...

I was always concerned with writing to my age at a particular moment. That was the way I would keep faith with the audience that supported me as I went along.

Bruce Springsteen 382 quotes

I'm interested in what it mea...

I'm interested in what it means to be an American. I'm interested in what it means to live in America. I'm interested in the kind of country that we live in and leave our kids. I'm interested in trying to define what that country is.

Bruce Springsteen 382 quotes

When I first started in rock,...

When I first started in rock, I had a big guy's audience for my early records. I had a very straight image, particularly through the mid '80s.

Bruce Springsteen 382 quotes

I have to write and play. If ...

I have to write and play. If I became an electrician tomorrow, I'd still come home at night and write songs.

Bruce Springsteen 382 quotes

You ask for your audience's i...

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 382 quotes

I was looking for some way to...

I was looking for some way to put my music to some service on a nightly basis. You go into a town, you play a little music, you leave something behind. That idea connected us to the local community. It was a very simple idea, but it really resonated with me.

Bruce Springsteen 382 quotes

And whether you're drawn to g...

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 382 quotes

I've had an experience throug...

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 382 quotes

You make your music, then you...

You make your music, then you try to find whatever audience is out there for it.

Bruce Springsteen 382 quotes

I think you can get to a poin...

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 382 quotes

Work creates an enormous sens...

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 382 quotes

The E Street band casts a pre...

The E Street band casts a pretty wide net. Our influences go all the way back to the early primitive garage music, and also, we've had everything in the band from jazz players to Kansas City trumpet players to Nils Lofgren, one of the great rock guitarists in the world.

I was signed to a record label at the same time as my friend Elliot Murphy, who makes great records to this day.

Bruce Springsteen 382 quotes

I played in front of every conceivable audience you could face: an all-black audience, all-white, firemen's fairs, policemen's balls, in front of supermarkets, bar mitzvahs, weddings, drive-in theaters. I'd seen it all before I ever walked into a recording studio.

Bruce Springsteen 382 quotes

My image had always been very ...

My image had always been very heterosexual, very straight. So it was a nice experience for me, a chance to clarify my own feelings about gay and lesbian civil rights.
