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.

More quotes by Steve Young
My dad, like any coach, has always stressed the fundamentals. He taught me responsibility, accountability, and the importance of hard work.
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
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
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'd rather work with guys that have time to live with you, and let it gel.
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
When you're an elite athlete, it's a very special moment in time and you don't want it to end.
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
The principle is competing against yourself. It's about self-improvement, about being better than you were the day before.

Steve Young
No one can keep their word. Everyone's in hurry and jumping to the next opportunity. There's something missing.

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
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
If I was an actor, it would be like a part that was me. It has to be real to me. I have to make it mine. I really enjoy taking a song I feel that way about, and sometimes it can take a long time to come up with just the right touch. I think that's really my greatest talent, interpreting.
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
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 give NFL quarterbacks a lot of leeway for a couple of years.
Steve Young
When you play quarterback in San Francisco, not much goes under the radar.
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
