A voice expressing emotion in a musical way moves on. It's like the finale of the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) - the world turns in on itself, as a universe unto itself, in the shape of one human being.

Written by
Dwight Yoakam

Dwight Yoakam
I tried to pay some small tribute to A Man and a Woman (1966) with the recurring musical theme.

Dwight Yoakam
In addition, I'm finishing a track for the movie 'Waking Up In Reno', but there are numerous other singers I look forward to recording with in the near future.
Written by
Dwight Yoakam
In the past 3-4 years I've developed a habit of keeping numerous small cassette recorders in my house and in a bag with me so that I'm able to commit to tape memory song ideas on a constant basis.

Dwight Yoakam
It became a metaphor for the lives of the people in this film and for the Old West, for the abandonment that occurred in the early part of the 20th century.

Dwight Yoakam
It varies from song to song, although Buck Owens and I recently collaborated on writing a duet together and am looking forward with a great deal of anticipation to recording that track for the new studio album.
Written by

It's meant to reaffirm the validity of that music - clean, minimalist, honest, classic music.
Written by
Dwight Yoakam
Quality is timeless: It will clearly define itself. And so I make reference to and acknowledge things that I feel have been dismissed, trying to restate those musical and cultural elements clearly and vehemently.

Dwight Yoakam
We started shooting, and then Jodie found out she was pregnant. Forest broke it to me - he'd gone to work and heard it on the radio! It seemed like the movie was doomed. But, like these characters, there was a disregard for all the signs along the way.

Dwight Yoakam
As a writer, I always tend to take the liberty and the great artistic luxury of a composite form of writing.
Written by
Dwight Yoakam

Written by
Dwight Yoakam

Written by
Dwight Yoakam
I'll never quit playing country music, or at least acknowledging it, always, as the cornerstone of what I am.
Written by
Dwight Yoakam
I embrace country music because of love, a love of what I came from.
Written by
Dwight Yoakam
I can't escape being born in Pike County, Kentucky, grandson of a miner, Luther Tibbs, and his wife, Earlene, and traveling as a child up and down Route 23 between Kentucky and Columbus, Ohio, where I was raised, experiencing life via working-class people. Nor do I want to escape.

Dwight Yoakam
I don't regret any of the musical decisions I have made.

Dwight Yoakam
The future has a lot to do with the past.
Written by
Dwight Yoakam
Film acting has been a very pure experience, because you have to give the purest form of yourself as an artist.
Written by
Dwight Yoakam
My parents were not affluent people and were not - didn't come from the extremities of education. My mother had a high school diploma. I often think I so wish she'd come out of the hills in Appalachia and been able to go on to college. I think she would have made a wonderful teacher.
Written by
Dwight Yoakam
We share something in common with the fabric of the whole universe that connects us.
Written by
Dwight Yoakam
However you arrive at the ability to ignore self-doubt - if you can acquire it or possess it or find it or discover it - move beyond self-doubt.
Written by
Dwight Yoakam
When I was in junior high, a foreign-history teacher started a theater class. So I got my feet wet there and through high school, so I was very fascinated with acting as a means of expression.
