Quote

I came to California and got signed at a young age. And it's not like you see in the movies, where you start rubbing shoulders with Timbaland and Pharrell, and you become a giant pop star.

I want there to be a piece of me in my music, you know? I genuinely believe that's the secret of all the success that's happened (for me).

If perfect's what you're searching for, then just stay the same.

My dad was just the king of finding these little spots for us to stay that we should never have been staying at.

What I'm hoping is that every album I'm going to do will give my audience something different, and that they'll grow as I do.

Hawaiian music is beautiful and simple.

Writing for other artists helped me figure out that magic you have to capture to make everyone connect with a song.

I could sing you a thousand and one doo-wop songs. I love the simplicity in that music. It's not super-poetic, it's just from the heart.

No one sells a song better than the person that wrote it.

Jimi Hendrix is the greatest guitar player in the world... a guy who mastered that instrument. It was talking when he played. And when he did a solo, he made the guitar cry - or made it sound like it was coming from the devil's amplifier.

Never had much faith in love or miracles, Never wanna put my heart on the line
Bruno Mars

As proud as I am of Doo-Wops I feel like, 'Oh, man. People haven't seen nothing. They don't even know what I'm about to do,' and that's what I can't wait to show the world.
Bruno Mars

I can't even speak Hawaiian, but if you go there and listen to a Hawaiian song, you get captured because it's so beautiful, like the melody is just gorgeous and you know Bob Marley is on the radio every single day. It's very reggae-influenced down there. Basically, you haven't been to paradise if you haven't been to Hawaii.

To write a song you must have an imagination, to have an imagination you must be free.
Bruno Mars

Today, I'd like to talk to Bob Marley. I'd just like to ask him what was his method. Bob is one of the greatest songwriters ever. I don't know if people understand how powerful his songs are and the simplicity and genius behind them, from 'Redemption Song' to 'Is This Love?' and 'I Shot the Sheriff.'

You have to envision your life, and then go backwards.

I signed up to be a musician, I want to perform, I want to sing.

I feel it's my job to continue being a student of music if I want to continue being an artist and a producer of other artists. You have to keep filling your mind with other music. You have to be ahead of the curve.
