If I feel like I'm going too far in one direction, I just can it. It's a weird thing. Some of my songs might be cheesy I try and keep it light. It's hard to explain.

More quotes by 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
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
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
Perfectionist? Thats not something I am.
Mac DeMarco
Journalists say my music is blue wave, or dreamy, or jangly-slacker jewel, and none of it really makes sense to me.
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 think recording at home feels more organic, and injects some more personality into the music.

Usually when festivals are really huge it's kind of weird. It's totally fun for me and my band to play in front of a crowd that doesn't necessarily know who we are, but festivals get pretty impersonal when they get super large.
Mac DeMarco
Regardless of how funny I want to be, I don't ever have a problem speaking from my heart or speaking honestly to people.

Connan Mockasin from New Zealand. I met him a little while ago, I love his music.
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
I'm getting paid to tour and travel and I don't have to work a shitty job. And it's weird because you like start getting pissed off about that.
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
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 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
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
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!.

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

'Salad Days' refers to a youthful or innocent period. And a lot of people having been asking me already so you jaded? And I'm not, I'm 23. It's me reflecting, I had to re-learn to have fun with music and I had to re-count my blessings.
