Macklemore

My partner has to have good sized bones.

I played baseball up until my freshman year of high school. That was my main sport. I played third base.

Its easy to view politicians as corrupt and voting essentially an act of picking the lesser of two evils. I understand that perspective and feel it's valid.

I think that civil rights issues take a lot of time to develop.

I'm a very conceptual writer.

I think people are enticed by indie rap and every time you have a group going against the grain, they're gonna be like, 'Wow, you did it yourself in 2012, that's impressive - how did you do it?...

'The more expensive the better' is kind of the American way, and if you spent $600 for a sweatshirt, then that makes it better.

Consciousness rap - a term that I don't think exactly exists but gets thrown around a lot - is not exactly popular.

I'm not more or less conscious than any other rapper out there.

Music is therapy. Music moves people. It connects people in ways that no other medium can. It pulls heart strings. It acts as medicine.
