Mac Miller quotes:

I've been listening to the old school hip-hop stuff and rock like The Beatles and the Rolling Stones.

If I had a Salvador Dali painting, I would cuddle it to sleep.

I can have a song with Ariana Grande that is going to be the song for all the kids and the teen girls, and then another song that could be for a different group of people who all love the song. I'm with whoever. Whatever type of people want to love the music and whatever they love about the music is fine with me.

I'm 21 years old and I think that I've got a lot of perspective in life.

No matter where life takes me, you'll find me with a smile. Presumed to be happy, always laughing like a child. I never thought life could be this sweet! It's got me cheesing from cheek to cheek!

When you feel sad, it's okay. It's not the end of the world. Everyone has those days when you doubt yourself, and when you feel like everything you do sucks, but then there's those days when you feel like Superman. It's just the balance of the world. I just write to feel better.

I'm gonna make music, and I'm gonna capture every aspect of being a human being. That's really all I'm trying to do. I think that artists and pop culture identities are used to simplify what it means to be a human and pigeon-hole people into looking up to one role model.

I used to just think about what my fans wanted all the time. But it just started feeling weird to me. I want to just show everyone who I am and stick to my vision. I have to trust myself.

Radio's a scary thing for me. It's dope to be on there.

I flood the Internet with what I think is quality content. That's why I did things like giving out a song every 100,000 Twitter followers because I am just looking for ways to get my fans to hear all this music without over saturating things.

People don't really give me much anymore, and for good reason. I have to pay for a lot of stuff now, I can afford a lot more than I ever could before. No one really gives me anything anymore, but it feels good.

With 'Blue Slide Park' I wanted to have a number one album, and I did do it, so I'm not mad at it, but that was its goal.

They told me never fall in love, It never works out in your favor. You way too young and right now that's just human nature.

Cruise Control' was the first track me and Wiz Khalifa ever did. I made the beat on that, and I played guitar on it.

My ideology was, if I just make very happy music, very happy music, then people will forget about whatever their problems are. I will forget about my problems.

I always thought I'd look corny in the type of rap video in the club with girls and all that type of stuff. I just didn't think I could really pull that off. We always think it's more fun and better just to go outside the box and to use our videos to show cool concepts.

Every single person in my life and every relationship I have is distant because all I do is music.

The whole background of 'Avian' is rain. I was just playing with textures and realizing you can touch music.

I'm rockin' PJ's and no shirt. I smoke weed, eat yogurt

I just like to sing for people who have lost love.

I'm addicted to something at all times. Like, it's always music, but maybe sometimes it's a pair of pants or something else. That's just how my personality works.

I was never just a 'fill in 16 bars on a beat' rapper. I was making real songs from the jump.

I've been playing a guitar since I was 10 years old.

When being unable to differentiate a good from a bad decision:it has become time to follow your heart.

Sometimes I see the world for how f-ked up it really is. I tell myself I'll be the one to make a change in it. I could die tonight; not make it to the sunrise, then I couldn't hear the pain in it.

People change and things go wrong but just remember life goes on.

Some devil with a pitchfork keep talkin' like he know me. I stood before an angel as he told me bout the glory.

I like tattoos. I'm gonna be covered. I'm not going to touch my face or under the chin on the neck: it's my least favorite place.

At first you're doing it for yourself, it's about what sounds good to you. It's about expressing yourself. Then you get comfortable as an artist and you find yourself and people get familiar.

Blessed with some success, so I'mma try my best to live my life right. When I see God, he'll be impressed.

Enjoy the best things in your life cuz you ain't gonna get to live it twice.

Girl I don't wanna share you We could be together, but you scared to I ain't gonna leave you My people tell me I should And when I blow I hope you know That I could have any girl I choose But as time goes by, baby all I'm gonna want is you

I ain't no hipster, but girl I can make your hips stir.

I be goofy, kinda funny. Acting stupid but they love me.

I can have a song with Ariana Grande that is going to be the song for all the kids and the teen girls, and then another song that could be for a different group of people who all love the song. Im with whoever. Whatever type of people want to love the music and whatever they love about the music is fine with me.

I could take a photo, but I'd rather paint a picture.

I don't feel like taking pictures with anyone [or] doing anything. I just like chillin'.

I don't really leave my house too much, 'cause I don't like... it's funny, I don't really like to be high and famous at the same time.

I don't want to limit myself as an artist and only do a certain sound.

I got problems, can't sleep at night. Cause your girl wanna come around and freak all night.

I just kind of kick it at my crib all day because I'm not famous at my house.

I listen to a lot of different kind of music. A lot of weird-ass music, like weird-ass, old Portishead.

I never thought life would be this sweet, It got me cheesing from cheek to cheek.

I play a bunch of instruments, like piano, drums, guitar and bass. And the kazoo every now and then. I'm trying to learn how to play the trumpet and the saxophone. That's what I'm learning how to play.

I think that with the Internet, it has given a lot of people the opportunity to get themselves out there to the masses. But it's easy to group everyone that's on the Internet together. I try to cross and jump around between genres and different styles, kind of find my own niche.

If life a joke then I'm waiting for the punch. You all about the beef but me, I'm bout the bun.

If you didn't make mistakes you wouldn't get far.

If you model yourself after Lawrence Fishburne, you can never go wrong.

If you're an artist who's built on marketing and hype then most likely I won't listen to you.

I'm underrated, don't fit on nobody's playlist / If I ain't in your top 10, then you're a racist.

I'ma do my thing until the day the reaper come for me. You can keep on grillin', I'ma smile back.

In the quest to be a man, you start to learn you need your family. If it wasn't for them, I'd be way closer to insanity.

It seems I'm getting fresher everytime I turn around.

It's hard to dream when you're deep inside of one.

Music is what I love, take that away from me and I really got nothing.

No matter where life takes me. Find me with a smile.

One thing I know about Willie Hutch: my homie, [Big] Jerm, listens to nothing but Soul music, so he put me on to all this Soul music back in the day.

People love you when they on your mind/A thought is love's currency,

Said I'll make it big when, everybody know me Well, I made it big and, everybody phony

Someone told me sleep was the cousin of death and followin' the dollar finds nothin' but stress.

Sometimes it's hard to pick right from wrong. The best thing we can do is go with our heart and hope it all goes well.

Stand by those who stand by you.

The blogs have been great and everything, but I think, for me, it's better to have a central place on the Internet for all my fans to go and show their friends my YouTube, Twitter, and social networking sites. To have that spread all on its own and have a central station to get everything Mac Miller.

They say you waste time asleep, but I'm just trying to dream.

They're gonna try to tell you no, shatter all your dreams. But you gotta get up and go and think of better things.

Treat it like your last night. Even if you broke, spend tonight like your cash right.

Watching Dawson's creek 'til I fall asleep. It's harder than it seems.

We were just drinking some joint juice earlier.

When I was a kid, hip-hop had that effect on me, it was escape and it showed me a different way of life.

When I was in a meeting, I got advice that was someone telling me that in order to be successful, I needed to create the character Mac Miller that couldn't be the same person as who I really was.

You can be labelled but if it doesn't speak to people then it won't work. The social media and online has been really important. Fans are really smart too: they don't want to hear something manufactured or something that has too much marketing behind it.

You could have the world in the palm of your hand, but it don't mean a thing 'til you change it.

Your life's short, don't ever question the length / It's cool to cry, don't ever question your strength.
