More quotes by Steve Earle
Or you can be like the Soviet Union, start out with ideals, and end up ceasing to exist.
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
Critics are notoriously liberal with their use of the term 'genius'.
Steve Earle
Actually, in its purest form, Islam is incredibly tolerant. That makes what's going on in the world really bizarre.
Steve Earle
I've never known of Wal-Mart to be a good neighbor in any town it's ever moved into.
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
Every day on Earth is another chance to get it right.
Steve Earle
I feel like I owe my audience something. They feed my kids. And I really like my job, a lot.
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 still write more songs about girls than anything else.
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 think it's obvious that democracy is something that is contagious, and it always has been.
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
The revolution starts now.
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 Democrat I'm something well to the left of a Democrat, but I'm just realistic about the system.
Steve Earle
Maybe I'm not as big a star as Bruce Springsteen because I'm not as good. I don't know. It doesn't matter. I still have an audience of a certain size. I think it's one of the things I'm luckiest.
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
Having a child at 55... that's optimism.
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
