More quotes by 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
I don't try and be dark, but there are obviously darker emotions that I want to capture sometimes.
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
Writing for other artists helped me figure out that magic you have to capture to make everyone connect with a song.
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 just write songs that I strongly believe in and that are coming from inside. There's no tricks. It's honesty with big melodies.
Bruno Mars
I've learned people are watching, so don't do nothing stupid.
Bruno Mars
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.
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
You have to envision your life, and then go backwards.
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 grew up with so many different songs that the ones that are fun to play are the ones I want to do.
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'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
There will never be another Michael Jackson, a huge pop star since (the age of) 7.
Bruno Mars
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.
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
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
To write a song you must have an imagination, to have an imagination you must be free.
Bruno Mars
No one sells a song better than the person that wrote it.
