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.

More quotes by 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
I was known to spout off about [ politics and religion] sometimes, especially in my drinkin' days! It was pretty dangerous actually.
Steve Young
I was always drawn to the roots music, bluegrass, blues, early rock - Sun Records, Elvis [Presley]. And I still love that music to this day. Memphis never gets the credit. It's much more musically rich than Nashville ever will be. Nashville manufactured that hokey-hillbilly image way back.
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
Music saved my life a few times because I could play the stuff rednecks loved. They thought I was great and they wondered why I didn't do that all the time.
Steve Young
I have somewhat [Taylor's or Gallagher's guitars], but I like the power of the Martins.
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
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.

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 like the idea of having an old Gibson [guitar], but I don't have one. The Gibson has a different quality, but it's almost like you need both.
Steve Young
My playing style is very eccentric and mostly self taught.
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 grew up wanting a guitar, my family was very poor. When I was fourteen my mother bought me a Gibson ES 125 thin body. That was a bunch of money in those days - $125.00.
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
No one can keep their word. Everyone's in hurry and jumping to the next opportunity. There's something missing.
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
I had admired Waylon [ Jennings], but I never expected to meet him and get to know him. When I finally moved to Nashville years later, one night I went to a Harlan Howard Guitar Pull thing, and there was Waylon. He started talking about how much he loved my work and how great I was, and I couldn't even get a word in.
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
When you play quarterback in San Francisco, not much goes under the radar.
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.
