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.
Lyle Lovett
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.
Lyle Lovett
You don't have to have anything in common with people you've known since you were five. With old friends, you've got your whole life in common.
Lyle Lovett
Never guess a woman's age. Never guess a woman's weight. Never even talk about weight in front of a woman. And never, ever ask a woman when she's due.
Lyle Lovett
You're saying something with your appearance whether you mean to or not, so you may as well mean to.
Lyle Lovett
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.
Lyle Lovett
I don't feel like I'm on a mission. I'm trying to play music that I like to play and like to listen to.
Lyle Lovett
Horses teach you patience and how to do things the right way so you can get the right result.
Lyle Lovett
I've never made a dime from a record sale in the history of my record deal. I've been very happy with my sales, and certainly my audience has been very supportive. I make a living going out and playing shows.
Lyle Lovett
It's really a lot easier to write about things that are problematic. Who wants to hear how happy you are?
Lyle Lovett
Records are very powerful promotional tools to go out and be able to play on the road, but you do have to think about it as a way of sustaining itself at some point.
Lyle Lovett
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.
Lyle Lovett
I am limited by what I can think of to do-my choices are not so great.
Lyle Lovett
If you forget the words to your own song, you can always claim artistic license. Forget the words to the national anthem, and you're screwed.
Lyle Lovett
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.
Lyle Lovett
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.
Lyle Lovett
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.
Lyle Lovett
Fortunately, I've never had a job.
Lyle Lovett
Singing your own songs is all about individual expression.
Lyle Lovett
I played guitar when I was young and never really considered it as a way to make a living.
Lyle Lovett
