Rita Wilson shares how Bruce Springsteen pacified her anxiety as a songwriter
Tom Hanks’ wife reveals what inspired her to become a songwriter later in life at Sound of a Woman event
Rita Wilson recently shared how Bruce Springteen helped calming her anxiety about becoming a songwriter later in life.
The actress-singer revealed she got a valuable advice from the musician about songwriting while speaking at the Sound of a Woman: Rita Wilson in Conversation with Demi Moore event at 92NY in New York City on April 28.
“I and Bruce were talking one day about songwriting … he was giving a masterclass really on it,” recalled the 69-year-old.
During their conversation, Rita asked her about how she could start writing now when he’s been writing all his life.
To this, Tom Hanks’ wife mentioned, “He said, “Because Rita, creativity is time independent.”
“I thought that's so true, like, who's got the clock? Who up there has got the clock saying, ‘I'm sorry, that was supposed to happen in 1985’?”pointed out the Sleepless in Seattle star.
Rita noted that we “have so many limiting beliefs and our own beliefs but also societal beliefs that say, ‘You can't do that, or that's not acceptable.' And I'm here to break some rules.”
“I never was a rule breaker when I was a teenager, a rebel in any sense. I'm gonna be now,” she added.
Meanwhile, the producer and singer-songwriter already released her sixth studio album, Sound of a Woman, on May 1.
