More quotes by Steve Earle
Or you can be like the Soviet Union, start out with ideals, and end up ceasing to exist.
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
If there is such a thing as a workaholic, I'm it, and that's what passes for leisure.
Steve Earle
Critics are notoriously liberal with their use of the term 'genius'.
Steve Earle
I think it's obvious that democracy is something that is contagious, and it always has been.
Steve Earle
You see things differently at 40 than you do at 31. Especially if you got to 40 the way I did.
Steve Earle
Bob Dylan is one of the very few people in the history of popular music who you can unquestionably apply that word [genius] to.
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
My politics were really radical when I was younger, and then I moderated like everyone else does when they start having kids.
Steve Earle
I feel like I owe my audience something. They feed my kids. And I really like my job, a lot.
Steve Earle
Every day on Earth is another chance to get it right.
Steve Earle
I've been a serial husband, and I've done it badly every time.
Steve Earle
I'm a very disciplined person when it comes to my work, but discipline can't save m from being a drug addict.
Steve Earle
Having a child at 55... that's optimism.
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've never known of Wal-Mart to be a good neighbor in any town it's ever moved into.
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
Actually, in its purest form, Islam is incredibly tolerant. That makes what's going on in the world really bizarre.
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
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.
Steve Earle
