“Being famous used to just defeat me. I wouldn’t leave my house because I was worried about someone being like, ‘Oh, are you Mac Miller?’ and then the rest of the night I couldn’t be myself.”

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.

People love you when they on your mind. A thought is love’s currency.

I’ve been laughed at, hated on, no one would even play my songs. Wouldn’t even listen to anything that my name was on.

The number one reason why people give up so fast is because they tend to look at how far they still have to go, instead of how far they’ve gotten.

I’m just an idea, nothing concrete.

Don’t count the number of friends you have, but the number of friends you can count on.

Life is just a recital, better remember all that you practice.

We fear rejection, want attention, crave affection, and dream of perfection.

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.

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

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

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

You know how much you love it when you get it in abundance.

As I learn more about myself, I think people learn more about me as well. It seems to correlate that way. I learn how to represent myself more as it goes on.

If I stay in one mindset or place for too long, I get crazy.

Never make yourself feel like nothing, to make someone else feel like everything.

The image is one thing and the human being is another. It’s very hard to live up to an image, put it that way.

I always love being in the studio.

I always appreciate my name in lights.

Being a star just means that you just find your own special place, and that you shine where you are.

When you become a celebrity, the world owns you and your image.

Everything I’ve done has felt very natural, and it’s happened because it’s happened.

What distracts me from my reality is bigfoot. They are my celebrities.

I never really said I want to be a role model. But then when it happened I was so down for it.
