More quotes by Lyle Lovett
Singing your own songs is all about individual expression
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
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
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
Look around and you will see this world is full of creeps like me.
Lyle Lovett
Everybody's career is different. In this new age of being able to talk to the whole world at once, the possibilities are staggering, really, to be able to do things yourself. But I've always enjoyed my relationship with the record company.
Lyle Lovett
I enjoyed hearing people do their own songs. I became attracted to singer-songwriters. I became interested in them as people was curious about what they wanted to say.
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 always thought that writing isn't really that hard. It's having a good idea that's hard.
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
That's right, you're not from Texas. But Texas wants you anyways.
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
You have to be really good to get away with smashing a guitar.
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
The most important thing you can do as a performer is to be yourself, or be an onstage version of yourself. If youre not being true to yourself, and somebody likes that other version of you, youre kind of stuck.
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
There's no bad luck, There's just the luck you've found.
Lyle Lovett
If it's not too late, make it a cheese-burger
Lyle Lovett
Fortunately, I've never had a job
