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
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
It's dedicating yourself to your craft. Spending thousands of hours in a studio learning how to write a song, learning how to play different chords, training yourself to sing. You know, to get better and better.
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
Hawaii is paradise. It sounds cheesy to say it, but there's music in the air there.
Bruno Mars
My dream was to not get a day job but to sleep, wake up and do my music. I want to keep that dream forever.
Bruno Mars
We all grew up idolizing another musician. That's how this works. That's how music is created.
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
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 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 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
You have to be who you are, and hopefully they dig it
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
If perfect's what you're searching for, then just stay the same.
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
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.
Bruno Mars
I think that success is having fun.
Bruno Mars
Music is not math. It's science. You keep mixing the stuff up until it blows up on you, or it becomes this incredible potion.
Bruno Mars
My father moved to Hawaii from Brooklyn and my mother came there as a child from the Philippines. They met at a show where my dad was playing percussion. My mom was a hula dancer.
