More quotes by 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
I don't really think in terms of obstacles. My biggest obstacle is always myself.
Steve Earle
I just had a child on purpose at age 56, I'm pretty f---ing optimistic.
Steve Earle
Songwriters are expanding time rather than compressing time. My short stories tend to be old fashioned, with a beginning, middle and end.
Steve Earle
The creative core of New York has never been native New Yorkers it's people from all over the world.
Steve Earle
If I can get Me out of the way, I can do anything.
Steve Earle
If there is such a thing as a workaholic, I'm it, and that's what passes for leisure.
Steve Earle
I'm not a racist, but I do have to work at not being a racist, because of where I grew up.

Politics has always been in my music. Anybody who doesn't understand how political Copperhead Road is isn't listening very well.
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
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'll never believe that Americans have racticed in our history anything close to the purest form of democracy of the world. Because there are lots of democracies around the world that function better than ours does. It's always been that way. There's some truth to the idea that it's rigged, but there is a way that it's supposed to work that.
Steve Earle
Critics are notoriously liberal with their use of the term 'genius'.
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 feel like I owe my audience something. They feed my kids. And I really like my job, a lot.
Steve Earle
Having a child at 55... that's optimism.
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.
