More quotes by 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
San Antonio is like a military town. It's like literally - when I was growing up there, there were five Air Force bases, plus Fort Sam Houston. I was always sort of near the military.
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've never known of Wal-Mart to be a good neighbor in any town it's ever moved into.
Steve Earle
I still write more songs about girls than anything else.
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
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
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 creative core of New York has never been native New Yorkers it's people from all over the world.
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
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
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.
