More quotes by Steve Earle
I don't think I'm a political songwriter as much as I am just a political person. I think it's in my fabric.
Steve Earle
Bob Dylan is one of the very few people in the history of popular music who you can unquestionably apply that word [genius] to.
Steve Earle
At home, I'm lucky if I can write three or four hours before the phone starts ringing and the kids want to go to soccer.
Steve Earle
Becoming interested in poetics got me interested in theater. Theater is supposed to be poetry, you know, before it's anything else. It just doesn't fly if it isn't musical.
Steve Earle
Sympathetic characters usually have a voice. They usually don't have any trouble being heard.
Steve Earle
I love theater. I go all the time. It's one of the reasons I moved to New York. But I understand that I have limited range as an actor. I can only play people who talk like me.
Steve Earle
I mainly read non-fiction, and that's probably because I have a huge amount of insecurity about my lack of education and the things I don't know.
Steve Earle
If there is such a thing as a workaholic, I'm it, and that's what passes for leisure.
Steve Earle
I don't separate writing songs from poetry and short fiction. In the area where I work in my house, there's a word processor and a guitar.
Steve Earle
I've been a serial husband, and I've done it badly every time.
Steve Earle
Like most kids, I grew up singing 'This Land Is Your Land' in grammar school, but with the most radical verses neatly removed. This was before I knew it was a Woody Guthrie song.
Steve Earle
What saves me from being a drug addict is sort of the opposite. It's me realizing that I don't really control anything.
Steve Earle
I've been on every interstate highway in the lower forty-eight states by now and I never get tired of the view.
Steve Earle
It's incredibly irresponsible to allow victims' family members to witness executions.
Steve Earle
I wasn't raised to not write about issues, and I'm just living in really politically charged times. You know, I'd rather write songs about girls, but it's just hard to do right now.
Steve Earle
I'm used to writing stories with a beginning a middle and an end in four minutes.
Steve Earle
The stupidest thing that a writer can do is write a memoir I think, unless it's right before you die -- maybe.
Steve Earle
San Antonio is like a military town. It's like literally - when I was growing up there, there were five Air Force bases, plus Fort Sam Houston. I was always sort of near the military.
Steve Earle
My objection to the death penalty is based on the idea that this is a democracy, and in a democracy the government is me, and if the government kills somebody then I'm killing somebody.
Steve Earle
I don't type fast. I type with three fingers - two on one hand, and I only get one going on the other. I think my thumb's in there, but I'm not sure. I may be no better than an orangutan when it comes to that.
Steve Earle
