More quotes by Steve Earle

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
There's a long tradition of people from the South living in New York City.
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 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
I had everything I need to get me killed.
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.
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
Sympathetic characters usually have a voice. They usually don't have any trouble being heard.
Steve Earle
Politics has always been in my music. Anybody who doesn't understand how political Copperhead Road is isn't listening very well.
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
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'm not a racist, but I do have to work at not being a racist, because of where I grew up.
Steve Earle
I do not believe Tony Blair was a fundamentally good man who went bad. I believe he was evil in the first place.
Steve Earle
Every day on Earth is another chance to get it right.
Steve Earle
I think it's obvious that democracy is something that is contagious, and it always has been.
Steve Earle
I'm used to writing stories with a beginning a middle and an end in four minutes.
Steve Earle
I just had a child on purpose at age 56, I'm pretty f---ing optimistic.
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
You can go out and find ways to make your own record and get it out there now. If you really want to, you can be heard. Keep things simple. Learn to go out and play solo. That's a really really good thing to learn, if you're a singer-songwriter. Don't be dependent on a band because you may not always be able to afford one.
