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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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