No freedom til we're equal...damn right I support it.
Macklemore
I write to the beat and let life play the guitar strings
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
If I'm using drugs and alcohol, it means that I've given up on my fullest potential.
Macklemore
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 have major labels that are willing to take unconventional approaches because the old model is crumbling in front of us.
Macklemore

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.

We live on the cusp of death Thinking it won't be us
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 think that civil rights issues take a lot of time to develop.
Macklemore
Bullying is a national epidemic.
Macklemore
I'm not more or less conscious than any other rapper out there.
Macklemore

Macklemore
America the brave Still fears what we don't know
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
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.
