Ahead of the screening, White spoke to \"Good Morning America\" on the carpet and shared Springsteen's impact on his life.

\"I don't remember a time when I didn't know Bruce Springsteen. I don't remember a time when I wasn't hearing him on the radio,\" he said.

At the premiere, Springsteen also thanked Jeremy Strong, who plays his manager Jon Landau, for his \"creativity and his inspiration,\" noting, \"He played a much, much better looking Jon Landau.\"

In an interview with \"GMA,\" Strong called Landau a \"north star\" to Springsteen.

\"Jon is an incredibly learned man,\" Strong said. \"He is an authority on music, an authority on our history [and] he has an encyclopedic understanding of music, of literature, of cinema.\"

Springsteen shouted out actor Stephen Graham as well \"for being the living embodiment of my late father,\" and Gabby Hoffman for playing his mom, noting, \"They’re all gone now, so it’s nice to have this piece of film.\"

The \"Born to Run\" artist also shared some \"last thoughts\" before the song.

\"These days, we have daily events reminding us of the fact that we’re living through these particularly dangerous times,\" Springsteen shared. \"I spent my life on the road. I’ve been moving around the world as kind of a musical ambassador for America, trying to measure the distance between American reality, where we’ve often fallen short of our ideals of the American dream.\"

He added, \"Seeing that America, as battered as she feels right now, but for a lot of folks out there, she continues to be a land of hope and dreams, not of fear or divisiveness or government censorship or hatred. ... That America is worth fighting for.\"
