More quotes by Steve Earle
I'm not a Democrat I'm something well to the left of a Democrat, but I'm just realistic about the system.
Steve Earle
Part of it is, I think, just to let people know you've got a record out there and that you're still alive requires more work than it used to, because the traditional radio, bug chains of record stores, all of that, that doesn't exist anymore.
Steve Earle
The revolution starts now.
Steve Earle
We're Americans. I don't consider us to be evil, I just don't think we know any better. We're a really young culture. We're hillbillies, and the rest of the world sees us that way. I travel all over the world, and probably the only worse rednecks than us are the Australians. And they're an even younger country.
Steve Earle
It's incredibly irresponsible to allow victims' family members to witness executions.
Steve Earle
My audience doesn't agree with me on everything, but I love my audience, because they're totally okay with us having a dialogue.
Steve Earle
My politics were really radical when I was younger, and then I moderated like everyone else does when they start having kids.
Steve Earle
My therapist says that I choose women that I couldn't possibly succeed in a relationship with because I really want to be alone. Which sounds complicated and convoluted to me, but I don't know. Maybe she's right. There's a part of me that wants that.
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
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
I don't really think in terms of obstacles. My biggest obstacle is always myself.
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 spend a lot of time feeling sorry for myself, trying to compare how many records I've sold or how much money I've made.
Steve Earle
I do not believe Tony Blair was a fundamentally good man who went bad. I believe he was evil in the first place.
Steve Earle
I feel like I owe my audience something. They feed my kids. And I really like my job, a lot.
Steve Earle
Greg Trooper writes great songs, including one of my very favorite songs in the world, Little Sister. On top of all that, there's his voice - an instrument I have coveted for 15 years.
Steve Earle
The singer-songwriter has always played music that was stylistically rooted in the '30s and the Great Depression and the Dust Bowl. But the fact of the matter is that none of us remember the Depression firsthand.
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
Me, I'm spiritually retarded, I need to be knee deep in water with a fly rod in my hands, that's about as close to God as I get.
Steve Earle
