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.

More quotes by 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
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
I definitely use 'smiling while rapping' as a tool in the booth. I want to have fun while recording.
Macklemore
I've never been a religious person. I've been a spiritual person since I was about 15, 16, when I was first introduced to Psilocybin [mushrooms]. That really opened me up to thinking about the universe in a different way, and coming to significant realizations about my connection to something greater than me.

Bullying is a national epidemic.

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

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.

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.

I played baseball up until my freshman year of high school. That was my main sport. I played third base.

I'm a very conceptual writer.

Sampling is kind of prehistoric, given the technology and the textures you can create.
Macklemore
We sell our dreams and our potential to escape through that buzz.
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
A world so hateful some would rather die than be who they are.
Macklemore
If I'm using drugs and alcohol, it means that I've given up on my fullest potential.
Macklemore
I think what's wrong with the fashion world, particularly men's fashion, is the lack of creativity behind it.
Macklemore
Human rights for everybody, there is no difference. Live on! And be yourself!
Macklemore
You can only watch injustice go on for so long until you're compelled to say something. To speak out against it.
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 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.
