More quotes by Mac DeMarco
[Juan Wauters] got the tips for Queens because he grew up there.So him and my roommate, Matt Volz, they hooked me up, New York Style.
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.

[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'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?

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.

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
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.

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
Journalists say my music is blue wave, or dreamy, or jangly-slacker jewel, and none of it really makes sense to me.
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
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 think recording at home feels more organic, and injects some more personality into the music.
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!.

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 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 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 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
Regardless of how funny I want to be, I don't ever have a problem speaking from my heart or speaking honestly to people.
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
Once a song comes out, these songs aren't mine. They're everybody's. So there you go.
