Macklemore
If I'm using drugs and alcohol, it means that I've given up on my fullest potential.
Macklemore
My relationship with God is as strong as the time and energy I put into connecting with God.
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.
Macklemore
Bullying is a national epidemic.
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
America the brave Still fears what we don't know
Macklemore
I played baseball up until my freshman year of high school. That was my main sport. I played third base.
Macklemore
I buy whatever I see, but I tend to not spend money just to spend it.
