More quotes by Macklemore
A world so hateful some would rather die than be who they are.
Macklemore
I'm someone that examines culture and tries to break down why things are the way that they are whether its hip-hop music, sex, race, or consumerism. I try to examine it and scrutinize it to the point where I can write a song.
Macklemore
I definitely use smiling while rapping as a tool in the booth. I want to have fun while recording. At times it can get tedious and stressful when it's not sounding the way you heard it in your head, but you've got to remember to just smile and appreciate the fact that you're even in the booth and there are people who want to hear your art.
Macklemore
I played baseball up until my freshman year of high school. That was my main sport. I played third base.
Macklemore
I grew up in the spoken-word community. Before everybody had a home studio, or before we could get booked for shows, open mics were the only way to be heard by other people. It really gave me a chance to develop as a performer. Reading a piece of poetry with no beat in front of 20 people is way more challenging than rocking for 10,000 people.
Macklemore
I find that when I put my spiritual life first, the rest of my life is easy. When I put my career first, that's when I have problems.
Macklemore
You have major labels that are willing to take unconventional approaches because the old model is crumbling in front of us.
Macklemore
The moment is now and we cant get it back from the grave.
Macklemore
I think that there will always be artists out there who think they need to sign a major label deal in order to be successful. And that machine is what is going to work for them - there's tons of examples of pop stars who need that machine.
Macklemore
Thrift shopping is really just an extension of me being that same kid and going into a place that's completely unconventional that has really endless possibilities in terms of outfits that you can put together and really just expressing yourself.
Macklemore
I'm not more or less conscious than any other rapper out there.
Macklemore
It's been so long since I've really truly felt what it's like to live life without substances to help. Massive struggle that's natural to one's health, but with addiction in my blood I play the cards I was dealt.
Macklemore
Michael Jordan was a cultural icon that everybody on the playground wanted to be. The Bulls dynasty was a huge part of my childhood and it was the peak of my basketball interest as a kid.
Macklemore
I want to make music that I like not something that I have to make because I think it's going to sell.
Macklemore
I buy whatever I see, but I tend to not spend money just to spend it.
Macklemore
I want to be someone who is respected and not just in terms of my music. I want to be respected in terms of the way that I treat people... Music is my creative outlet in terms of expressing what is important to me what has importance, what has a value. And I wanna be respected for that.
Macklemore
The greatest trick that the devil ever pulled Was convincing women that they looked Better in their makeup
Macklemore
My relationship with God is as strong as the time and energy I put into connecting with God.
Macklemore
For me, being transparent about every aspect of my life is what makes my music relatable and how I'm able to be an individual amongst the mass amounts of other artists.
Macklemore
I like to be as diverse as possible. I think the humorous side and the serious side are both elements of my personality. It's what makes me who I am and if I was to neglect either one of those sides and just focus on one of them, it wouldn't be the full spectrum of my personality.
