More quotes by 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
Sympathetic characters usually have a voice. They usually don't have any trouble being heard.
Steve Earle
Or you can be like the Soviet Union, start out with ideals, and end up ceasing to exist.
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
I don't think I'm a political songwriter as much as I am just a political person. I think it's in my fabric.

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
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
The revolution starts now.
Steve Earle
I've been a serial husband, and I've done it badly every time.
Steve Earle
I've never known of Wal-Mart to be a good neighbor in any town it's ever moved into.
Steve Earle
Politics has always been in my music. Anybody who doesn't understand how political Copperhead Road is isn't listening very well.
Steve Earle
My audience doesn't agree with me on everything, but I love my audience, because they're totally okay with us having a dialogue.
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
Having a child at 55... that's optimism.
