Lyle Lovett Quotes

If it’s not too late, make it a cheese-burger Picture Quote #1

If someone gives you a belt buckle, it’s like a piece of jewelry. It has the same sort of emotional significance. It would be something you would intend to keep forever Picture Quote #1

Both my parents worked, so I was home alone a lot, and I would listen to their records. They belonged to the Columbia House record club, so they had records! Picture Quote #1

I enjoyed hearing people do their own songs. I became attracted to singer-songwriters. I became interested in them as people; was curious about what they wanted to say Picture Quote #1

I played guitar when I was young and never really considered it as a way to make a living Picture Quote #1

Somehow you can tell the difference when a song is written just to get on the radio and when what someone does is their whole life. That comes through in Bob Dylan, Paul Simon, Willie Nelson. There is no separating their life from their music Picture Quote #1

You can’t second-guess your audience. You can only do what you think is right. If you do that, your audience will appreciate you Picture Quote #1

Every afternoon, I was in the pasture with cattle or fishing and shooting my BB gun. That kind of freedom allows imagination to develop Picture Quote #1

One of my favorite things is when people will ask for a song that I hadn’t planned to play. It is really fun to see if you can remember something, and you don’t always. I mean, sometimes it’s just crash and burn Picture Quote #1

Wear what you want to wear. Do what you want to do. Be who you are. Pick out your own clothes. Be a man. And if that’s too much to ask, as it almost always is for me, think of someone you consider to be a man and pretend to be like him. I pretend to be like my dad Picture Quote #1

Barbecue sauce is like a beautiful woman. If it’s too sweet, it’s bound to be hiding something Picture Quote #1

Tipping your hat to a lady is good form. If you’re at a dinner table, you’d most certainly take your hat off - cowboy hat, baseball hat, or otherwise Picture Quote #1

The most important thing you can do as a performer is to be yourself, or be an onstage version of yourself. If you’re not being true to yourself, and somebody likes that other version of you, you’re kind of stuck Picture Quote #1

The idea that we humans are good-natured, politically correct, nonjudgmental beings is pure fantasy. We are, at the very least, judgmental Picture Quote #1

I don’t know what it is about the shower that generates creative thoughts. Maybe it’s the hot water. Maybe it’s being unencumbered even by the restriction of clothing Picture Quote #1

It’s difficult to get started-when it comes to dealing with an unknown quantity, people are reluctant to trust their own opinion. It helps if two or three people give you a boos Picture Quote #1

If Ford is to Chevrolet what Dodge is to Chrysler, what Corn Flakes are to Post Toasties, what the clear blue sky is to the deep blue sea, what Hank Williams is to Neil Armstrong - can you doubt we were made for each other? Picture Quote #1

I’m not really a competitive person, and I’m not naturally comfortable in front of people Picture Quote #1

Dad often told me, ‘My job is to help my boss do his job and make him look good.’ That was my dad’s objective. Everything about the way he conducted himself was to communicate support for his superiors and respect for his coworkers. The way he dressed was his starting point in that communication Picture Quote #1

I sort of cringe when I hear myself say the word ‘work.’ Getting to do something you love to do never really feels like work Picture Quote #1

The loss of Jerry Garcia feels like the end of an era in the same way it felt when Elvis died and John Lennon was killed Picture Quote #1

My first performance was in second grade with my friend Rodney Fisher, and we worked up versions of ‘Long Tall Texan’ and ‘I Want to Hold Your Hand.’ It gave me a little early confidence that I could actually do this music thing Picture Quote #1

It’s difficult to get started-when it comes to dealing with an unknown quantity, people are reluctant to trust their own opinion. It helps if two or three people give you a boost Picture Quote #1

I’m a very lucky man. I get to do the thing I want most in life, write songs and sing them for people, and ride bikes. I love my family. I love my home. I get to work with people I’ve admired my whole life. It’s a pretty good life Picture Quote #1

Who keeps on loving you when you’ve been lying, saying things that ain’t what they seem? God does, but I don’t. God will, but I won’t Picture Quote #1

As a songwriter, you try your best to write a good song, and you like nothing better than hearing a good song. It’s easy to admire a great song, and you want to share out of enthusiasm Picture Quote #1

I’ve always thought that writing isn’t really that hard. It’s having a good idea that’s hard Picture Quote #1

I’ve gotten to work with some wonderful directors and people who have been great teachers to me Picture Quote #1

My parents worked for Exxon, and they gave me every chance to take part in music. I took guitar lessons, and I was in the choir at school Picture Quote #1
