More quotes by Steve Earle
Critics are notoriously liberal with their use of the term 'genius'.
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
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 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
What's important is you wake up in the morning and something doesn't exist, and when you finish you day's work something is in the world that wasn't there before.
Steve Earle
At home, I'm lucky if I can write three or four hours before the phone starts ringing and the kids want to go to soccer.
Steve Earle
It's incredibly irresponsible to allow victims' family members to witness executions.
Steve Earle
The singer-songwriter has always played music that was stylistically rooted in the '30s and the Great Depression and the Dust Bowl. But the fact of the matter is that none of us remember the Depression firsthand.
Steve Earle
There's a long tradition of people from the South living in New York City.
Steve Earle
My objection to the death penalty is based on the idea that this is a democracy, and in a democracy the government is me, and if the government kills somebody then I'm killing somebody.
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
The revolution starts now.
Steve Earle
I don't really think in terms of obstacles. My biggest obstacle is always myself.
Steve Earle
I think it's obvious that democracy is something that is contagious, and it always has been.
Steve Earle
I've never known of Wal-Mart to be a good neighbor in any town it's ever moved into.
Steve Earle
If I can get Me out of the way, I can do anything.
Steve Earle
Every day on Earth is another chance to get it right.
Steve Earle
What saves me from being a drug addict is sort of the opposite. It's me realizing that I don't really control anything.
Steve Earle
I'm used to writing stories with a beginning a middle and an end in four minutes.
Steve Earle
By the time I wrote those first three songs for his new CD ... I wanted to push the poetics as hard as I could push them, and not decide the songs were finished until I committed them to whatever the recording format was. I went through drafts right up until I recorded every single one of them.
Steve Earle
