More quotes by Steve Earle
Bob Dylan is one of the very few people in the history of popular music who you can unquestionably apply that word [genius] to.
Steve Earle
There's a long tradition of people from the South living in New York City.
Steve Earle
I've never known of Wal-Mart to be a good neighbor in any town it's ever moved into.
Steve Earle
Critics are notoriously liberal with their use of the term 'genius'.
Steve Earle
The revolution starts now.
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
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
My dad was in a wheelchair and on oxygen for the last few years of his life.
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 stupidest thing that a writer can do is write a memoir I think, unless it's right before you die -- maybe.
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 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
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 think it's obvious that democracy is something that is contagious, and it always has been.
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.
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 don't type fast. I type with three fingers - two on one hand, and I only get one going on the other. I think my thumb's in there, but I'm not sure. I may be no better than an orangutan when it comes to that.
Steve Earle
Every day on Earth is another chance to get it right.
Steve Earle
I'm from Texas. I hitchhiked to Tennessee when I was 19 years old, and it is really beautiful in Tennessee.
Steve Earle
I'll never believe that Americans have racticed in our history anything close to the purest form of democracy of the world. Because there are lots of democracies around the world that function better than ours does. It's always been that way. There's some truth to the idea that it's rigged, but there is a way that it's supposed to work that.
