Quote

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.

I don't really think in terms of obstacles. My biggest obstacle is always myself.

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.

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

Sympathetic characters usually have a voice. They usually don't have any trouble being heard.
Steve Earle
Image
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 don't separate writing songs from poetry and short fiction. In the area where I work in my house, there's a word processor and a guitar.

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
Image
I feel like I owe my audience something. They feed my kids. And I really like my job, a lot.
Steve Earle
Image
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
Image
You make decisions, and that's what separates art from some other pop music. It doesn't mean that you can't make an embarrassing amount of money, for a borderline Marxist, doing something that you love, but it does mean that this huge pool of money that was out there when I started making records in the '80s is gone.

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.

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

The creative core of New York has never been native New Yorkers it's people from all over the world.

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.
