"Everybody gets a little nervous when their boss shows up for work, right? I don't know if you've noticed, but me and my friends have been sweating bullets up here all night long, because The Boss is here. Ladies and gentlemen, Bruce Springsteen." - BF

"I feel intimidated in cities. They are centres of the world, intellect and arts. I don't belong." - BF

"Thank you for All These Thing's That I've Done." - BF

"Something happened in the nineties. There was a shift. I don't want to blame it on grunge or the rise of indie - but that was basically it. It was seen as dirty and kind of ignorant to have these ambitions, to want to be a big band." - BF

"It's my birthday." - BF

"I am a big believer in a good pair of Levi’s and the right pocket tee. I feel as good in that as I do in just about anything, if I’m feeling good about myself." - BF

"'Hot Fuss' was all based on fantasy. The English influences, the makeup - they were what I imagined rock was. I'm a dreamer, you know? So I dug into that dream and made 'Hot Fuss.'" - BF

"A lot of people assume we didn't rhyme 'stomach is sick' with 'touching his dick' because of my religious beliefs but the truth is much darker. I just didn't think of it. And for that, I'm sorry. I refuse to ever pull up RhymeZone while writing lyrics." - BF

"After a new record, I want to get a new phone. And so that's why I had a new phone because we had finished Imploding the Mirage. I hadn't put Bruce's [Springsteen] number on, so that's why I didn't know that it was him texting." (About recording of 'Dustland') - BF

"Me and my family, and the way I'm perceived by my kids. I don't want them to see me go down like Tyson." [Tyson vs Douglas] - BF

"You'd think we would have won a Grammy by now." - BF

"We had a tough couple of years. But this is the year that we got back to work, we got back to school, we got back to Las Vegas. We will never forget Covid, but I hope we will never forget what it feels like to be in this room tonight together." [At The Killers' NYE Show] - BF

"A cheap pendant I bought on Etsy about 10, 15 years ago. The band that’s carrying it, I got from Tiffany, is more expensive. It’s very sentimental to me.” - BF

"Being in The Killers is part of my identity. I'm so proud to be in this band." - BF

"I had recently moved back to Utah and started to make trips to Nephi, where I grew up. I found that the place I had wanted to get away from so desperately at 16 was now a place that I couldn't stop returning to." - BF

"Our best songs ever are going to be on the next album." - BF

"In a sense, all Americans are battle-born. Our ancestors came here for something better." - BF

"I like the idea of where me and my wife have gotten to and where we're headed. My favourite line on the record is 'I'll be there when water's rising / I'll be your lifeguard'. I want her to know that no matter what, I'm going to stay by her side and keep the promise." - BF

"For me now, white arrows are my wife, children, my songs and the stage.” - BF

"With 'boy', I want to reach out and tell myself - and my sons - to not overthink it." - BF
