More quotes by Steve Earle
What songwriting does better than almost anything is empathy - it's incredibly empathetic. The reason people sat around in bars when they were bummed out and listened to country songs is because it made them feel better in the long run.
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
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
Like most kids, I grew up singing 'This Land Is Your Land' in grammar school, but with the most radical verses neatly removed. This was before I knew it was a Woody Guthrie song.

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
I've been a serial husband, and I've done it badly every time.
Steve Earle
Bob Dylan emerged from nowhere, like an alien. And that was just the start.
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
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
I had everything I need to get me killed.
Steve Earle
I feel like I owe my audience something. They feed my kids. And I really like my job, a lot.
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 think it's obvious that democracy is something that is contagious, and it always has been.
