"In the early years, I found a voice that was my voice and also partly my father's voice. But isn't that what you always do? Why do kids at 5 years old go into the closet and put their daddy's shoes on? Hey, my kids do it"

In this quote, Bruce Springsteen reflects on his early years and how he discovered his own special voice as an artist. He acknowledges that his voice was affected by his dad's voice, as many kids often mimic their parents. He compares this to the typical habits of children playing dress-up and putting on their moms and dads' shoes. Springsteen's own kids also engage in this playful act, further highlighting the idea that kids typically imitate their moms and dads. This quote highlights the strong bond in between a daddy and child, and how a moms and dad's impact can form their kid's identity and enthusiasms.
