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.

More quotes by Macklemore
We live on the cusp of death Thinking it won't be us
Macklemore
One man's trash that's another man's come up.
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.
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
No freedom til we're equal...damn right I support it.
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
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 write to the beat and let life play the guitar strings
Macklemore
You have major labels that are willing to take unconventional approaches because the old model is crumbling in front of us.
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 buy whatever I see, but I tend to not spend money just to spend it.
Macklemore
I played baseball up until my freshman year of high school. That was my main sport. I played third base.
Macklemore
I'm not more or less conscious than any other rapper out there.
Macklemore
I'm a very conceptual writer.
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
For me, being transparent about every aspect of my life is what makes my music relatable and how I'm able to be an individual amongst the mass amounts of other artists.
Macklemore
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.
Macklemore
I definitely use 'smiling while rapping' as a tool in the booth. I want to have fun while recording.
Macklemore
Human rights for everybody, there is no difference. Live on! And be yourself!
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.
