More quotes by Macklemore

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
My relationship with God is as strong as the time and energy I put into connecting with God.
Macklemore
Thrift shopping is really just an extension of me being that same kid and going into a place that's completely unconventional that has really endless possibilities in terms of outfits that you can put together and really just expressing yourself.

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.
Macklemore

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

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
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
A world so hateful some would rather die than be who they are.
Macklemore
I definitely use 'smiling while rapping' as a tool in the booth. I want to have fun while recording.
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'm not more or less conscious than any other rapper out there.
Macklemore
I played baseball up until my freshman year of high school. That was my main sport. I played third base.
