More quotes by 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.

The moment is now and we cant get it back from the grave.

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

I definitely use 'smiling while rapping' as a tool in the booth. I want to have fun while recording.

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.

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.

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.

The greats weren't great because at birth they could paint The greats were great because they paint a lot

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.

I want to make music that I like not something that I have to make because I think it's going to sell.

I think that civil rights issues take a lot of time to develop.
Macklemore
We sell our dreams and our potential to escape through that buzz.

You can only watch injustice go on for so long until you're compelled to say something. To speak out against it.
Macklemore
I definitely use smiling while rapping as a tool in the booth. I want to have fun while recording. At times it can get tedious and stressful when it's not sounding the way you heard it in your head, but you've got to remember to just smile and appreciate the fact that you're even in the booth and there are people who want to hear your art.

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.

Bullying is a national epidemic.

I'm a very conceptual writer.

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.
