Quotes
ADD QUOTES
- Steve Earle: My main objection to the death penalty isn't about trying to save anybody on death row. It's about, If this is a democracy and the government kills somebody, then I'm killing somebody. I object to the damage that it does to my spirit. It's really, really simple.

- Steve Earle: When you try as hard to kill yourself as I did with drugs and you don't die, you're around for a reason. And whenever I see something that I have an opportunity to do, I have to do it.
  Edit Share Hide
- Steve Earle: A lot of people try to set me up to badmouth Nashville, and I hate the way country radio sounds now. But I didn't like a lot of it in the '80s when I was making records, and I really haven't liked a lot of it in a long time.
