Songwriters, you have to work - you have to wait for residuals. You have to pray that the song's going to be a hit. And then a year later, you might get a check.

More quotes by Bruno Mars
You know, I just do whatever feels right to me! And so that's what you're gonna get!
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
My mother is a singer, my sisters all sing, my uncles are incredible singers and guitar players, so it's just kind of been like my habitat.
Bruno Mars
I don't try and be dark, but there are obviously darker emotions that I want to capture sometimes.
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
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 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 grew up with so many different songs that the ones that are fun to play are the ones I want to do.
Bruno Mars
Treasure, that is what you are
Bruno Mars
Hawaiian music is beautiful and simple.
Bruno Mars
It's just all love. That's what music is. That's why music is created. To make people feel good, to uplift people. That's what musicians are for: to give everyone an escape, to let everyone feel good and take people out of everyday problems, so that they can hear music and sing words that are hopefully relatable.
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
A lot of people are really quick to say, That song sounds like this. Or you - He's tryin' to sound like this. And I'm always like, You're damn right I am. That's how - that's why we're all here. You know, we all grew up idolizing another musician. That's how this works. That's how music is created.
Bruno Mars
I really wish I knew what I was doing because I'd be writing hit songs every minute.
Bruno Mars
You have to envision your life, and then go backwards.
Bruno Mars
Never had much faith in love or miracles, Never wanna put my heart on the line
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
If perfect's what you're searching for, then just stay the same.
Bruno Mars
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.
Bruno Mars
No one sells a song better than the person that wrote it.
