I’m terrible at collaborating with people; nothing ever ends up coming out good. Mac DeMarco Read Quote
I love Jonathan Richman – I love a lot of his music, and the thing I really like about him is his attitude. He seems very happy, and the way he performs is like, ‘Don’t worry, everybody, just get into it. I’m just having fun; I like when you guys are having fun.’ Mac DeMarco Read Quote
If people are talking about you, that’s great. You start making more money, that’s great. You get to go to weird places, that’s great. The music industry is weird, especially with the Internet. People are calling you all kinds of weird stuff, like ‘jangly.’ Mac DeMarco Read Quote
When people think of someone being prolific, it’s like, ‘He’s got a vault with 5,000 songs in it,’ or something, but I just kind of pick them out of the air when they float by. Mac DeMarco Read Quote
I actually had a really nice guitar as a teenager. I took jazz guitar, so my mom bought me this probably $1,600 guitar. But I got really into garage rock and local bands, and I noticed they played really crappy guitars. So I thought, ‘Hey, I should get a crappy guitar, too!’ Mac DeMarco Read Quote
I like guitar. It just turned out that it’s the instrument I learned to play. I have a lot of respect for it, and I’m learning more and more every day. For me, the classic band setup – guitars, drums, bass – will stay fresh forever. I don’t know. I’m still into it. Mac DeMarco Read Quote
It’s so crazy now with the Internet and being able to play shows to people who are actually interested in you. I still feel so lucky when that happens. Things just happen so fast. Mac DeMarco Read Quote
I’ll probably have to open a recording studio at some point because I won’t be able to pay the bills. Mac DeMarco Read Quote
At the time I was writing the second album, I was sitting home in my underwear all day every day; I didn’t have all that much to write about except for my own life and my family. Mac DeMarco Read Quote
I’m a pretty easygoing person, and it bleeds into the music. Even if I’m writing the most personal song, it’s not going to come out totally serious; there’s always a little tongue in the cheek. Mac DeMarco Read Quote
