More quotes by 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
A life lived for art, is never a life wasted.
Macklemore
If I was gay, I would think hip-hop hates me. Have you read the YouTube comments lately? 'Man, that's gay' gets dropped on the daily.
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
The moment is now and we cant get it back from the grave.
Macklemore
Human rights for everybody, there is no difference. Live on! And be yourself!

I'm a very conceptual writer.

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 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.
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
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'm not more or less conscious than any other rapper out there.
Macklemore
You can only watch injustice go on for so long until you're compelled to say something. To speak out against it.
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
The greats weren't great because at birth they could paint The greats were great because they paint a lot

I think that civil rights issues take a lot of time to develop.

One man's trash that's another man's come up.
