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.

She was ugly from the front, and I said ugly, ugly, ugly, ugly, ugly. Well, I could handle it behind her.
Lyle Lovett
Look around and you will see this world is full of creeps like me.
Lyle Lovett
Kemo Sabe, kiss my ass.
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
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
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.

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'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

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

Lyle Lovett
Singing your own songs is all about individual expression

My favorite Aggie joke? I'm sorry I don't understand the question
Lyle Lovett

Lyle Lovett
Home is where my horse is.
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.
