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.

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

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

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

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

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