More quotes by Mac DeMarco
I hate living in a really small apartment, living in a shoebox, not being able to play the drums, not having space. It sucks.
Mac DeMarco
In Europe, people tend to be very respectful. They try not to make too much noise at inappropriate times. In other countries, people can be very still. Sometimes I'm not sure if a crowd is into it until the end, when they usually want me to do something crazy for the encore.

[My House By The Water] is a nice instrumental track. The sound of the water is from the same place where the front photo was taken. I live really close to the airport, so there's also planes going over. It's kind of to remind me of living in there, because I'm not gonna be living in there for very much longer.

I do like touring. Sometimes it's crazy. We're really lucky and we've gone all over the world. You can't complain about getting paid to see the world. I've had to reel myself in a little bit at some points.

I get asked that a lot: What do you think your role is, with all the people that look up to you? I'm an entertainer, you know? I'm not trying to bombard anybody with anything, but at the same time, face-to-face or in real life, if I'm talking to some kid, I have opinions just like everybody else does.
Mac DeMarco
I like guitar. It just turned out that it's the instrument I learned to play. I have a lot of respect for it and I'm learning more and more everyday.
Mac DeMarco
I take making music seriously, but you have to have a sense of humor about yourself. I invite people into my life. That's how I do it.
Mac DeMarco
I don't think anybody has a choice. Everybody has to kind of interact with all the craziness right now. I don't like to engage - a lot of people made a point of doing the social media thing, and I think that social media is complete trash, so I treat it like that. I like Instagram. I like the funny photos. Other than that, it's not for me.
Mac DeMarco
I mean it was weird. But Phoenix watched us every night. But it's like they're not even a band, they're like a corporation. They bring a staff of like 40 people.
Mac DeMarco
Going on tour, you don't have a lot of time to mull things over. You're just kind of, Another beer, another show, another song.

I never liked living in Montreal. And I don't really like the music scene there. It was never my cup of tea, and I never felt like I ever fit in.
Mac DeMarco
I was having a good time before, but you grow up after a couple years and realize, I can't get drunk like this every night. Things change.
Mac DeMarco
I thought I knew Elton John, but then it was like, Woah, Elton's a pimp! He's really amazing. And since Billy and Elton are homies, I'm finally getting it - the two piano boys.
Mac DeMarco
I think people do expect something a little weird to happen. Maybe they've seen something I did once on the Internet and expect that I'm gonna do that every night.
Mac DeMarco
Neil Young is the prime example, the grand goal, if you will. He's still shredding, and he never lost his credibility.
