Does BULK insert (SQL server) work only with external file? - sql-server

I want to bulk insert records from the SELECT query result but I think in SQL server we can only bulk insert from a file.
Is there a way where I can perform the bulk insert from SELECT query and which should also be faster as compared to bulk insert
Many thanks in advance
