Steve Earle
Bob Dylan emerged from nowhere, like an alien. And that was just the start.
Steve Earle
I think it's obvious that democracy is something that is contagious, and it always has been.
Steve Earle

Steve Earle
Having a child at 55... that's optimism.
Steve Earle

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've never known of Wal-Mart to be a good neighbor in any town it's ever moved into.
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
There's a long tradition of people from the South living in New York City.
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
