More quotes by 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.

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
I'm not more or less conscious than any other rapper out there.
Macklemore
The fame and the money and all that stuff that comes along with it is all great, but that's not the sole purpose of why I make music.
Macklemore
A world so hateful some would rather die than be who they are.
Macklemore
My relationship with God is as strong as the time and energy I put into connecting with God.
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 put myself in the place of the listener when editing my writing. The last thing that I want to do is be preached at and told who to be or what to think when listening to an artist. However, I do want to be inspired. There's a fine line.

I think what's wrong with the fashion world, particularly men's fashion, is the lack of creativity behind it.
Macklemore
I'd always thought that if I could get sober and stay sober, I would be able to have a career making music. My drug and alcohol addiction was the one thing holding me back. I had finally gotten the tools to stay sober, and it was just a matter of writing the songs.

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
You need to get outside of your comfort zone to write songs that are interesting, songs that are compelling, songs that are different from what other people are writing.
Macklemore
My hope is that my personal testimony can help in some way to not only advance the dialogue and approve Referendum 74, but also to help shape a culture of belonging in which ALL people are equal.
Macklemore
The moment is now and we cant get it back from the grave.
Macklemore
Drug culture is extremely prevalent and probably most people know somebody whose life has been affected by drugs, if it's not their own or in their own family, they have friends. It's a never-ending process.
Macklemore
I want to make music that I like not something that I have to make because I think it's going to sell.

The greatest trick that the devil ever pulled Was convincing women that they looked Better in their makeup
Macklemore
I don't write a great song every day. I don't write a great song every couple weeks. It comes in such random times.
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 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.
