Quotes from Kane Brown
"My Mamaw used to make these homemade biscuits and salmon patties, which I always loved. And every time I go back home, she always has them ready for me."
I've seen a lot more artists come in with color or that look a little bit different and I love it. I just put my head down and I keep doing my thing. The more I succeed, and the more that these other artists start to succeed, the more doors open.

"Nana was a sheriff and a detective. She would take me for drives in her police car, and I would go down to the police station all the time, so the cops always knew who I was. And made me feel special...My Nana would be like, 'You never wanna be here.' I had that positivity of being in the jail but not being in the jail so I feel like that was very important in my life. She was just a strong woman."
"I've waited this time [before playing back home in Georgia] because I didn't want to go back home and play and not be able to give them a show that people were gonna be, like, 'WOW'. I feel like we did that. I will tell you I do not remember going on stage and I do not remember coming off."
"My Pop was a Tennessee fan but my Granddaddy was a Georgia fan. So, it's been fun watching the Dogs, for the last couple of years."
