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.

More quotes by 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.
Mac DeMarco
I had a band called the Sound Of Love and that was R&B songs about girls in my high school. I played in some other indie bands who were trying to make it big those sucked. Then I started Makeout Videotape and that was that.
Mac DeMarco
[Making music] only turned into this weird job in the last year or so. Once I figured that out, I was having a blast.
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.
Mac DeMarco
I have a lot of friends that I'd like to shout out but I don't think anyone will know who they are.
Mac DeMarco
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.
Mac DeMarco
Their [Phoenix] audience wasn't into us at all. The way most of the venues worked was there was no alcohol on the floor so usually during our set most people were in the lobby getting their drink on.
Mac DeMarco
I don't have that much experience in the studio, but I'm always really uncomfortable when I'm there. You're on the clock and it costs a lot of money.
Mac DeMarco
Neil Young is the prime example, the grand goal, if you will. He's still shredding, and he never lost his credibility.
Mac DeMarco
Patience is important, and also, if you don't want to do it, don't do it. But if you do, do. That's a general rule in how I live my life.
Mac DeMarco
I didn't want to play music because the whole family did it. I wanted to work in a cubicle. I saw Office Space as a young tween and missed the point of the movie. I was like, This looks good!.
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.

Connan Mockasin from New Zealand. I met him a little while ago, I love his music.
Mac DeMarco
[ If I wasn't making music ] I'd probably end up going to school, I never went to school. Or just give up and get my plumber's ticket and move back to Edmonton and become an alcoholic.
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.

Once a song comes out, these songs aren't mine. They're everybody's. So there you go.
Mac DeMarco
I've recorded at home since I was a teenager, and I'm able to sit here in my underwear and keep trying different things until something works. I think if I did that in a studio the engineer would be like, What the hell is wrong with you?
Mac DeMarco
It was weird [touring with them]. It felt more like we were playing for Phoenix. They asked us because they're fans of what we do.
Mac DeMarco
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 think recording at home feels more organic, and injects some more personality into the music.
