More quotes by 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
She was ugly from the front, and I said ugly, ugly, ugly, ugly, ugly. Well, I could handle it behind her.
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'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
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
Singing your own songs is all about individual expression
Lyle Lovett
Horses teach you patience and how to do things the right way so you can get the right result.
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've always thought that writing isn't really that hard. It's having a good idea that's hard.
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
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
That's right, you're not from Texas. But Texas wants you anyways.
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
Kemo Sabe, kiss my ass.
Lyle Lovett
Look around and you will see this world is full of creeps like 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
Fortunately, I've never had a job
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
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!
