Macy Gray Quotations

When you're an artist and open yourself up to a bunch of different stuff, ... then when you go into the studio you come out with all kinds of crazy stuff. I just go in and let it roll.

That bad boy can run over anybody and everybody.

It is crazy when you don't know what is going to happen to you the next day and suddenly that is what their lives are like,

The more I did it, the more I evolved on my own time. I'm at the point now where I get up on stage and tell myself that even if the audience doesn't have fun, I'll have fun. I just get up and party.

This album is about freedom and working hard and having an open mind,

It is very humbling, but I loved every second of it. It was really gratifying and I had a great time.

It's definitely a lot of work, ... but I'm in love with my kids and I love what I do so it's all good. I wouldn't change anything. My kids love seeing me on stage. My little girl dances to the tracks.

It's great that they're being evacuated out of the disaster, but now they need places to go and live. Definitely can't stay out here much longer like this.

I'm really flattered by all of you who voted for me.

I just really wanted to help out. I think the most important thing to them is their futures. They are here, and they have gotten out of that disaster, but it is like, now what? Because they can't live like that forever.

I definitely wanted to have a good time listening to this album. If you listen to Bob Marley records, you just sit back and party to them. I wanted this record to be like (that): You chill out, no matter what.

All kids are goofy. But I was extra goofy. Really tall, big feet, big ears. And I had a funny voice. When you're growing up, it's all about fitting in. I just wanted to have friends, so I didn't talk much.

Being God would be the ultimate.

Becoming famous and selling a lot of records doesn't change a thing.

I try to say goodbye and I choke Try to walk away and I stumble Though I try to hide it, it's clear My world crumbles when you are not here

I have a bronze statue of myself, naked. I have these really big curls and water comes out of every curl. It's hot.

I've never met anyone that is their image.

You don't have to be a rock star - if you don't like the situation you're in, you don't have to settle for it.

I want to be as famous as midnight. As powerful as a gun. As loved as a pizza.

The main part of the house is a deep red and I have butterscotch carpet. And I have a bathroom with leopard skin floor, wallpaper and toilet.

I write in the studio.

I'd like to be Queen Elizabeth.

When you're little all the things that are quirky and weird about you and that people laugh at, you find out are the things that are going to get you through

My voice is definitely a big present for me from God, because it's not like I can even take credit for it.

You could either go the traditional way or the other way. I went the other way.

I think I get misinterpreted and misunderstood a lot

It's like any other job: there's a method to it and it's really important to get that down. I'm still working on it, I got a lot to learn. It's one thing to make records but it's a whole 'nother capacity to be a star - whatever that is.

I just love being on stage and I love making music, and as far as - it's great for narcissism, because you have all those people screaming out your name.

Am I a fruitcake? I don't know. Perception is reality, so if I sit here and say, "I'm not a fruitcake, I'm a lemon cake," it doesn't matter. What you see me as in your world is what I am; it doesn't matter what I am - do you know what I mean? To me, I know what my real problems are - and they're certainly not about cake. And that's just the way it is.

I'm really demanding. No girl really wants just a guy. You want a prince, you want Jesus. So when he comes around and his name is, like, Steve, what are you supposed to do?

Whatever your image is, it's probably not you, but it affords you the freedom to live up to it.
