More quotes by Steve Young
I really wanted a guitar. As A little boy I used to tell people I was going to be a musician. They would humor me, and I'd make up thirty minute songs and drive them nuts.
Steve Young
I always had a hard time with Nashville. I reluctantly live there. I've mellowed, and it's improved some, in the fact it has more immigrants. There's some real Mexicans there, some folks from India, some of this and that. I'm not satisfied at all with living there. It's a dilemma for me.
Steve Young
Josh Graves laid down the dobro on that song [The White Trash Song] and he was hot. We went on the road together and we'd get drunker'n hell every night! I haven't had a drink since November, 1979. And I like it.
Steve Young
The song [The White Trash Song] was not a put down of [ my country cousins ], but a celebration. I wrote that early on, as a teenager.
Steve Young
My goal--and this is kind of my own little secret--but when I get married, just to head out and finish football and, and, and be a missionary around the world. Places where Steve Young--not that it's big really that many places--but places where they have no idea about football.
Steve Young
I may yet move [from Nashville], and where would I move if not Texas or New Mexico? I couldn't afford a home in California. I need to travel out of there occasionally.
Steve Young
I notice guys playing the piano playing a part up here and a part down there, and I wandered why couldn't I do that on the guitar?
Steve Young
Fundamentally, if the league is going to have a no-tolerance policy for domestic abuse, if we're going to be a global organization that's going to have this as a perspective, we've got to back it up. We can't be backed into it with a video with more coming out. We have to make an affirmative stand on it.
Steve Young
If I wasn't so lazy, or if I had a roadie, I'd have a line of guitars on stage. I'd have a lap steel and a nylon string up there, but who wants to keep up with all that?
Steve Young
Everything you do in life is up to you. Part of life is realizing you have much more potential and ability than you'd ever know, but it's up to you to face the fears and unleash that which really drives you.
Steve Young
The principle is competing against yourself. It's about self-improvement, about being better than you were the day before.
Steve Young
I was made to go to church and I heard the gospel songs, and every now then somebody would come through with a guitar and that was a thrill!
Steve Young
I was born and grew up in the Deep South, and I must say it wasn't easy for me. I always marched to a drummer, I had different views about politics and religion and I had them relatively young.
Steve Young
I'm playing a D-28 Martin that I've had about 20 years or so. I've got a '51 Martin and I thought I shouldn't be taking this on the road. So I went down to Gruhn Guitars in Nashville and kind of traded around and ended up with this one. This guitar sounded pretty good as new guitar.
Steve Young
I didn't have the self-promotion instinct, and I just didn't care about it. I sort of had a beat attitude.
Steve Young
When you're an elite athlete, it's a very special moment in time and you don't want it to end.
Steve Young
My playing style is very eccentric and mostly self taught.
Steve Young
No one can keep their word. Everyone's in hurry and jumping to the next opportunity. There's something missing.
Steve Young
Perception is reality. If you are perceived to be something, you might as well be it because that's the truth in people's minds.
Steve Young
I'd rather work with guys that have time to live with you, and let it gel.
Steve Young
