My first concert was Boyz II Men and Mariah Carey.

I've never seen my dad come home from work and not walk straight to my mom and ask her about her day.

There's a fundamental difference between how often men remember to say 'I love you' and how often women want to hear 'I love you.' For the most part, it's on the guy. He's not withholding it intentionally. It's just that we kind of miss the point sometimes, that even in the most nonchalant way, telling the person how you feel is important.
Brett Young -
I always say, 'If you want to make God laugh, tell Him your plans.' I couldn't be happier with where I ended up and how it worked out.
Brett Young -
I moved to Nashville with the same kind of mindset that I had in L.A., and that is to make sure you don't get outworked by anybody and make sure you're always writing songs and take every opportunity to play that you can.
Brett Young -
The power of a label and radio and a booking agency and all that - you never know until you experience it the first time, but being able to have a song on radio, but then go play a show for people that have heard the song on radio, and having it sung back to you, is - I don't know how to describe it.
Brett Young -
It is such a crazy idea that maybe something that I wrote or something that I put on a record would affect people at all.
Brett Young -
I'm still obsessed with the beach whenever I'm home; when I'm on the beach, it feels like home to me.

Californian artists are kind of willing to push the limits a little bit further just because that's kind of our mentality in that state.
Brett Young -
There is a lot of California in my... sound, and a ton of it is the laid-back nature of Southern Californians and the beach.
Brett Young -
We've gotten to play shows where I'm the headliner, so people are buying tickets to come see me, and that's when you really learn, 'Okay, who's listening to this music?' That and social media. But I couldn't feel luckier about the fan base that is starting to grow... People have just been super, super supportive and awesome.
Brett Young -
My dad's a pastor; I grew up in the church, and it's really easy to just have a healthy respect for what some people might be sensitive to.
Brett Young -
While I don't feel like I'm an evangelist, country music is about to give me a platform, and so keeping it topically acceptable for everybody, I hope that sets some sort of example.
Brett Young -
If something's gonna make you happy, and you know it's gonna make you happy, and it's what you want more than anything in the world, don't let someone else discourage you and talk you out of doing it just because they're doubters.

The only way to have longevity is to have good songs.
Brett Young -
For me, I never really understood why certain lines had to be crossed in order to get a point across. There's a PG way to say everything, in my opinion.
Brett Young -
I'm personally a hopeless romantic. I always have been.
Brett Young -
There's room for everybody to have success, but the moment I start slacking is the moment people will forget about me.
Brett Young -
In a very broad statement, or mentality, you just want as many fans as you can have of your music. You want people to write songs for and connect with and play shows for.
Brett Young -
I tried to mix country music into my sets in L.A., and I noticed that was when people checked out. And I was like, 'That doesn't make sense. The genre that I love the most is the one that doesn't work.'
Brett Young
-
I don't really see why some of those topical lines have to be crossed to get a point across. I want a mother and daughter, a teenage girl and her mom, to be able to come to the show and both enjoy it on the same level.
Brett Young -
I had the best example set by my parents for what a couple can - and, in my opinion, should - be.
Brett Young -
I always loved music, I just never thought of it as a career. Baseball was always my thing.
Brett Young -
It is such a surreal feeling to have my first single go No. 1!
