Quote

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.

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.

[Making music] only turned into this weird job in the last year or so. Once I figured that out, I was having a blast.

Image
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.

Once a song comes out, these songs aren't mine. They're everybody's. So there you go.

I hate living in a really small apartment, living in a shoebox, not being able to play the drums, not having space. It sucks.

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.

Neil Young is the prime example, the grand goal, if you will. He's still shredding, and he never lost his credibility.

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.

When you're growing up, you just take what you've got.

I think recording at home feels more organic, and injects some more personality into the music.

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
Image
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.

Image
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.

Perfectionist? Thats not something I am.

I mean, Manhattan is cool. But weird parts, I like that. Jamaica, Queens, that's great.

[ 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.

With the old dog stuff, maybe the term old is in there, but I'm 26. I'm not that old. It's mostly like, Ah, you dirty old dog! I'm saying it more like that. I'm still ripping. I'm ready to rip. I'll make a bunch more records and have a nice time. We'll see what happens.

You know, when your poisoning your body night after night after night, you end up chipping a couple years off your life. I've always wanted to be able to do this and now that I am, it's hard to complain.

Regardless of how funny I want to be, I don't ever have a problem speaking from my heart or speaking honestly to people.

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.
