My dad was into the 1950s doo-wop era. If you look at those groups, or at James Brown, Jackie Wilson and the Temptations in the 1960s, you'll see you had to be sharp onstage.

More quotes by Bruno Mars
I signed up to be a musician, I want to perform, I want to sing.
Bruno Mars
I watch the best. I'm a big fan of Elvis. I'm a big fan of 1950s Elvis when he would go on stage and scare people because he was a force and girls would go nuts! You can say the same thing for Prince or The Police. It's just guys who know that people are here to see a show, so I watch those guys and I love studying them because I'm a fan.
Bruno Mars
I don't try and be dark, but there are obviously darker emotions that I want to capture sometimes.
Bruno Mars
I got so much love for classical music and I hear so much incredible music.You should know a bunch of music and have respect for all sorts of genres and styles of music.
Bruno Mars
I've learned people are watching, so don't do nothing stupid.
Bruno Mars
What I like about Elvis is the same thing I like about James Brown, Michael Jackson, Prince. These guys, back in the day, there was no smoke and mirrors. It was just raw talent. They would step out onstage and command an audience.
Bruno Mars
Whether it be a reggae song, rock song, a love song, the main thing was just to, whatever I was feeling, to try to capture that emotion.
Bruno Mars
I'm a big fan of the young 1950s Elvis when he would just go onstage and control the whole environment.
Bruno Mars
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.
Bruno Mars
You have to be who you are, and hopefully they dig it
Bruno Mars
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.
Bruno Mars
I love the Sex Pistols. I'm a big Beach Boys fan and a huge Zeppelin and Queen fan.
Bruno Mars
My dad was just the king of finding these little spots for us to stay that we should never have been staying at.
Bruno Mars
I think everybody don't know what color I am. It's like, He's not black enough. He's not white enough. He's got a Latin last name but he doesn't have - he doesn't speak Spanish. Who are we selling this to? Are you making urban music? Are you making pop music? What kind of music are you making?
Bruno Mars
I felt like I didn't have [any] pizzazz, and a lot of girls say I'm out of this world, so I was like I guess I'm from Mars.
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.
Bruno Mars
Expect me to give my all. Thats what I do every time I have a show. Give my all.
Bruno Mars
There's always a bittersweet kind of thing, but I feel like everything had to work out the way it is. Everything that had to happen, happened.
Bruno Mars
When everything in life gets so complicated it only takes a day to change it
Bruno Mars
You know, I just do whatever feels right to me! And so that's what you're gonna get!
Bruno Mars
