Both my parents worked, so I was home alone a lot, and I would listen to their records. They belonged to the Columbia House record club, so they had records!

More quotes by Lyle Lovett
If you forget the words to your own song, you can always claim artistic license. Forget the words to the national anthem and you're screwed.
Lyle Lovett
Fortunately, I've never had a job
Lyle Lovett
My music has always been sort of in-between categories. Sometimes record stores - back when there were record stores - they'd put my records in the country music section, but other record stores would put my records in the pop or even the rock section. As long as it's in the store somewhere, I'm OK with it.
Lyle Lovett
It's true that I did get the girl, but then my grandfather always said, Even a blind chicken finds a few grains of corn now and then.
Lyle Lovett
Look around and you will see this world is full of creeps like me.
Lyle Lovett
Singing your own songs is all about individual expression
Lyle Lovett
I'm a very lucky man. I get to do the thing I want most in life, write songs and sing them for people, and ride bikes. I love my family. I love my home. I get to work with people I've admired my whole life. It's a pretty good life.
Lyle Lovett
I don't ever try to anticipate my audience. I just write the songs I want to write, and hope people like 'em.
Lyle Lovett
Home is where my horse is.
Lyle Lovett
When you have a solid upbringing and a strong sense of place, that sustains you. My sense of home never leaves me.
Lyle Lovett
I've never been ready to do a single thing I've ever done in my life. I haven't been prepared enough, haven't studied enough, haven't known enough. You can never be ready. There's just so much to know.
Lyle Lovett
The loss of Jerry Garcia feels like the end of an era in the same way it felt when Elvis died and John Lennon was killed.
Lyle Lovett
I'm really in no danger of being perceived as a famous movie actor!
Lyle Lovett
I don't know what it is about the shower that generates creative thoughts. Maybe it's the hot water. Maybe it's being unencumbered even by the restriction of clothing.
Lyle Lovett
I've been lucky to be able to make the records I've wanted to make. The record company has never pressured me to cut certain songs.
Lyle Lovett
Beyond hoping that someone will like one of my songs, I don't think about how a song will be received. I just hope that, when somebody hears one of my songs, they'll want to hear it again.
Lyle Lovett
Denice Franke is a sensitive and compelling singer and songwriter.
Lyle Lovett
It's difficult to get started-when it comes to dealing with an unknown quantity, people are reluctant to trust their own opinion. It helps if two or three people give you a boost.
Lyle Lovett
I like my audience. I always feel when up on stage performing that I could enjoy having a cup of coffee with any one of them.
Lyle Lovett
If it's not too late, make it a cheese-burger
