'Vote Love' means vote equality. It means vote change. It means vote what's right for humanity.
From Macklemore
I put myself in the place of the listener when editing my writing. The last thing that I want to do is be preached at and told who to be or what to think when listening to an artist. However, I do want to be inspired. There's a fine line.
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.
'The more expensive the better' is kind of the American way, and if you spent $600 for a sweatshirt, then that makes it better.
You can only watch injustice go on for so long until you're compelled to say something. To speak out against it.
I shop at thrift shops probably five times a week.
I think people are enticed by indie rap and every time you have a group going against the grain, they're gonna be like, 'Wow, you did it yourself in 2012, that's impressive - how did you do it? What're you doing that's different? And how can I be a part of it?'
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'm a very conceptual writer.
I want to make music that I like; not something that I have to make because I think it's going to sell.
