Quote by Bruce Springsteen

“The book was just something that came along after we played the Super Bowl and I wrote a little essay that went online. Then I had two or three weeks and I said, wow, that essay was pretty good. Maybe I'll try and write some other stuff. Writing about the depression, I just felt - you know, when you write a book like this, you have to open up your life. You have to be willing to do so to a certain degree.”

“[People] are trying to - they're trying to create something that solves a series of very complex problems inside of them or in their history.
