I think it's obvious that democracy is something that is contagious, and it always has been.

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.

My audience doesn't agree with me on everything, but I love my audience, because they're totally okay with us having a dialogue.

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.

My politics were really radical when I was younger, and then I moderated like everyone else does when they start having kids.

If I can get Me out of the way, I can do anything.

If there is such a thing as a workaholic, I'm it, and that's what passes for leisure.

Image
I wasn't raised to not write about issues, and I'm just living in really politically charged times. You know, I'd rather write songs about girls, but it's just hard to do right now.
Steve Earle
Image
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.

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.

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.

Politics has always been in my music. Anybody who doesn't understand how political Copperhead Road is isn't listening very well.

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.
