More quotes by Steve Earle
Critics are notoriously liberal with their use of the term 'genius'.
Steve Earle
I don't really think in terms of obstacles. My biggest obstacle is always myself.
Steve Earle
You see things differently at 40 than you do at 31. Especially if you got to 40 the way I did.
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
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
I had everything I need to get me killed.
Steve Earle
I think it's obvious that democracy is something that is contagious, and it always has been.
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
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
I've been a serial husband, and I've done it badly every time.
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'm not a racist, but I do have to work at not being a racist, because of where I grew up.
Steve Earle
I feel like I owe my audience something. They feed my kids. And I really like my job, a lot.
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 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'm a very disciplined person when it comes to my work, but discipline can't save m from being a drug addict.
Steve Earle
My dad was in a wheelchair and on oxygen for the last few years of his life.
Steve Earle
I was comparatively late in understanding Bob Dylan's overwhelming importance as a songwriter. Everybody who does my job exists in the shadow of Bob Dylan. There are two categories: Dylan and everybody else. It's as simple as that. And it's going to be that way until he dies.
Steve Earle
