More quotes by 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
When you have a solid upbringing and a strong sense of place, that sustains you. My sense of home never leaves me.
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
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
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

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
I've always thought that writing isn't really that hard. It's having a good idea that's hard.
Lyle Lovett
Singing your own songs is all about individual expression
Lyle Lovett
I'm really in no danger of being perceived as a famous movie actor!
Lyle Lovett
That's right, you're not from Texas. But Texas wants you anyways.
Lyle Lovett
My favorite Aggie joke? I'm sorry I don't understand the question
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
You have to be really good to get away with smashing a guitar.
Lyle Lovett
You don't have to have anything in common with people you've known since you were five. With old friends, you've got your whole life in common.
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!
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
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 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.
