More quotes by 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 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
We sell our dreams and our potential to escape through that buzz.
Macklemore
A world so hateful some would rather die than be who they are.
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
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
A life lived for art, is never a life wasted.
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
We live on the cusp of death Thinking it won't be us
Macklemore
Hip-hop was started as a very egocentric, testosterone, machismo-driven art form. The way that people are trying to take away that masculinity that is a such an intrinsical part of hip-hop music.
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.
Macklemore
I'm a very conceptual writer.
Macklemore
Sampling is kind of prehistoric, given the technology and the textures you can create.
Macklemore
I write to the beat and let life play the guitar strings
Macklemore
I definitely use 'smiling while rapping' as a tool in the booth. I want to have fun while recording.
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
My relationship with God is as strong as the time and energy I put into connecting with God.
Macklemore
I buy whatever I see, but I tend to not spend money just to spend it.
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.
