Steve Earle
What's important is you wake up in the morning and something doesn't exist, and when you finish you day's work something is in the world that wasn't there before.
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
By the time I wrote those first three songs for his new CD ... I wanted to push the poetics as hard as I could push them, and not decide the songs were finished until I committed them to whatever the recording format was. I went through drafts right up until I recorded every single one of them.
Steve Earle
It's incredibly irresponsible to allow victims' family members to witness executions.
Steve Earle
I had everything I need to get me killed.
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
I'm a very disciplined person when it comes to my work, but discipline can't save m from being a drug addict.
Steve Earle
Sympathetic characters usually have a voice. They usually don't have any trouble being heard.
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.
