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 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
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.
Bruno Mars
To write a song you must have an imagination, to have an imagination you must be free.
Bruno Mars
I signed up to be a musician, I want to perform, I want to sing.
Bruno Mars
I feel, as a songwriter, it's one of the hardest things to do - to sit down and say how you feel.
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. Talk about awesome.
Bruno Mars
I love the Sex Pistols. I'm a big Beach Boys fan and a huge Zeppelin and Queen fan.
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 definitely don't plead guilty to being a heartthrob.
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.'
Bruno Mars
Every artist should want to be like Michael Jackson
Bruno Mars
I don't try and be dark, but there are obviously darker emotions that I want to capture sometimes.
Bruno Mars
I wish I could tell you me and my rock band were traveling around, strung out. No, we were a family band. Straight Partridge Family.
Bruno Mars
Expect me to give my all. Thats what I do every time I have a show. Give my all.
Bruno Mars
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).
Bruno Mars
You have to envision your life, and then go backwards.
Bruno Mars
You know, I just do whatever feels right to me! And so that's what you're gonna get!
Bruno Mars
I think I don't take myself too seriously. You know as far as, it's a fun life. I take my music serious, but I like to have fun.
Bruno Mars
Treasure, that is what you are
