More quotes by Mac DeMarco
Perfectionist? Thats not something I am.
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
Once a song comes out, these songs aren't mine. They're everybody's. So there you go.
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 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
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 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
[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
I mean, Manhattan is cool. But weird parts, I like that. Jamaica, Queens, that's great.
Mac DeMarco
'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.
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.

[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.
Mac DeMarco
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.
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
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
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 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.
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
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.
