Today's quotes are from Bruce Springsteen:

1. “When it comes to luck, you make your own.” Do you believe you have that type of control over your luck? I think that luck is being open to the possibilities and opportunities

2. “You've got to learn to live with what you can't rise above.” What is something you have had difficulty rising above? I get in my own way a lot

3. “Poor men wanna be rich, rich men wanna be kings, and a king ain’t satisfied till he rules everything.” Would you want to be rich? I'd give it a try ;-)

4. “The best music is essentially there to provide you something to face the world with.” Tell us about a song that helps you "face the world." well... there are several contenders

5. “In America everything's about who's number one today.” Have you ever been a fan of someone you thought would last but turned out to be a flash in the pan? I'm sure... any number of One Hit Wonders from the 80s

6. “Is a dream a lie if it don't come true, or is it something worse?” Has any dream of yours come true? they do on a regular basis

7. “Our American government has strayed too far from American values. It is time to move forward. The country we carry in our hearts is waiting.” What would you change if you became the president? I would clean house and stop the pork barelling

8. "Yeah, I had gay friends. The first thing I realized was that everybody's different, and it becomes obvious that all of the gay stereotypes are ridiculous." How do you feel about gay rights? everyone should have the same rights, otherwise basic rights become special rights

9. " It's a sad man my friend who's living in his own skin and can't stand the company." Have you ever been disappointed in yourself? on a regular basis... I am very hard on myself

10. "The best music is essentially there to provide you something to face the world with." What's your favorite type of music? What's your favorite band? I love pop/rock and my favorite band since 1982 is U2
