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

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.

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.

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

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

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