Mac Miller is my best friend in the industry.
When I was 12 or 13, the hyphy movement was beginning to bubble. And you had local acts such as the Federation or E-40, Mac Dre, and Too Short that the local radio station would play all the time. You’d hear E-40 as much as you’d hear Jay Z.
Even last minute, you can find a great makeup artist at your local MAC store or department store makeup counter, and a lot of times they’ll hook you up for free.
Facebook’s data trove is enviable, and its moves into nearly every aspect of our lives – from payment to media, will create even more of it. The company also has created a huge base of developers for its platform, but the ecosystem is incomplete compared to vertically integrated OSes like iOS, Mac or Windows.
I’m just saying, and I’m going to say it enough times: I want to play Bernie Mac.
I have a PC because I don’t know how to use a Mac. Actors always have Macs with them, and when I try to use someone else’s, I can’t get the hang of it. It’s very strange; I don’t like it.
I love my BlackBerry, I love my Apple Mac, I love technology.
I was born in 1974, so I grew up listening to what was on the radio – my mom’s car sounded like Fleetwood Mac, because that was what was on the radio.
Yeah, the Mac Life… it’s about sipping some tea, getting together with the knitting circle. You know I like origami, right? That’s how you get to be notorious.
My new iPhone, I’m obsessed. My iPod. I love all the Mac crap. AppleTV, I’m crazy about that. I’d rather buy a new gadget than, like, a purse.
I like the MAC Face and Body foundation. Sometimes it can’t cover all my flaws, but I like it because it looks really natural and it evens out my skin tone.
If I’m feeling down in the dumps, or like I need a pop of colour, I’ll put on MAC’s Lipstick in Lady Danger. I discovered red lipstick when I did the Oscar season: Chanel sent me one and I realised how classic and glamorous it can be.
The greatness of Mac Rebennack, alias, Dr. John, also known as John Crieux, rests on his command of the musical use of idiomatic expression. Not a technically well-endowed singer, nor a great songwriter, he leaves his mark through the discipline and control he exerts over all that he touches.
My father loved music. He loved Motown and R&B, and my mother loved Journey and Fleetwood Mac, so they were always listening to it and playing it.
We’ve always connected musically in Fleetwood Mac because we’re the only people who play more than one note. I’m not the best pianist, but I know how to interlace around what Lindsey’s playing.
I would buy a Mac today if I was not working at Microsoft.
I was first inspired to make music by my cousin Oran. He was making music on an old Mac II by himself in his little lab, and I just started taking up after him. He was the first person to put a machine in front of me to work on. He was like my big brother, someone who I looked up to.
I was always inundated with music, whether it be my mother’s favorites like Fleetwood Mac and Carole King and the Carpenters, or my dad’s jazz music.
You could say that Fleetwood Mac is a bit of a dysfunctional family, but we are a family.
Opening a family-style restaurant with comfort food like mac ‘n’ cheese, ribs and burgers has always been my dream.
My parents were always playing records: My mom was really into the Beatles and Fleetwood Mac, and my dad was more Billy Squire, Whitesnake, ’80s hair metal. But I think there’s that crucial point where you become an adolescent and you don’t want to listen to your parents’ music.
I have an insatiable palate. I’ll try anything once, with an open mind. However, there is a special place in my heart for Kraft Macaroni & Cheese. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve sampled specialty Mac & Cheese all over the world, but nothing competes with the stuff I grew up on.
I think it’s great that she’s not perfect and wasn’t perfect. I think that’s maybe why so many young girls and different people look up to Mac and respect her even more.
I’ve learned how to make a nice souffle, a little mac and cheese.
The Macintosh having shipped, his next agenda was to turn the rest of Apple into the Mac group. He had perceived the rest of Apple wasn’t as creative or motivated as the Mac team, and what you need to take over the company are managers, not innovators or technical people.
When I was a kid, and Elvis Presley broke through to a middle class, white audience, it was a sociological phenomenon that lasted through the Beatles and even a bit through Fleetwood Mac.
Fans love McGwire for his powerful physique, for his on-field hugs of his son, the part-time bat boy. He is Big Mac, or Paul Bunyan in Cardinals red with a white-ash bat instead of an ax.
I’m rather old-fashioned about this video business. It’s all relatively new. We really don’t do videos, Fleetwood Mac. We’ve only done two.
One of the things about Fleetwood Mac is, when we’re not together, we don’t talk a lot or keep in touch. We keep a healthy distance.
My first-ever radio interview was with Annie Mac on Radio 1!
Analysts say that one reason Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were privatized in the first place was to prevent political whims from dominating the mortgage marketplace.
I left Apple in April of 1984, pretty soon after the introduction of the Mac.
My father and mother listened to oldies, from be-bop and swing music to – I hate to admit it, but – Barry Manilow, Fleetwood Mac and the Moody Blues.
First was the mouse. The second was the click wheel. And now, we’re going to bring multi-touch to the market. And each of these revolutionary interfaces has made possible a revolutionary product – the Mac, the iPod and now the iPhone.
It was very deliberate that Daring Fireball wasn’t defined as a Mac site or an Apple site, and this was fortuitous.
I think L.A. radio is learning from the Bay. The Bay is a very classic place. Mac Mall, C-Bo, all that stuff, they love their artists, they’re old school up there. My first big concert was playing in the Bay; I played the Fillmore.
The first MAC product I used was a lip product.
I got my first Mac in 1984. I’ve got an Airbook, iPad, iPhone, the lot. I love that blend of technology, creativity, and design.
When I first started wearing blue lipstick, it was a MAC gloss that they had. Everyone was making fun of me, and I was like, ‘Watch – this is going to be cool one day.’
There have been several occasions during the course of Fleetwood Mac over the years where we’ve had to undermine whatever the business axioms might be to sort of keep aspiring as an artist in the long term, and the ‘Tusk’ album was one of those times.
When the Mac ad campaign was in full swing, I quickened my pace as I went past certain bus stops. My wife told me that she loyally took a piece of chewing gum off my nose once.
I think the only reason people use PCs is because they have to. Mac is the most streamlined computer there is. I started using the Mac in college because I was doing editing, and they were the only computers we could use to do that.
I want to reach a new generation. That’s why I am Twittering now. I have a BlackBerry, an iPhone and a Mac.
The actor that taught me the most was Bernie Mac. I did my first big budget studio film with he and Angela Bassett, ‘Mr. 3000’ for Disney. Bernie taught me by example what creates success is humility and hard work.
I don’t have the same knack for the business end that my old man did. Recruiting people has been tough. I don’t envy anyone in that spot, especially some of the great non-WWE promoters like ‘Evolves’ Gabe Sapolsky, Beyond Wrestling’s Drew Cordeiro, or Markus Mac at All Pro Wrestling.
Apple makes beautiful products. I own a Mac Pro, a Mac Book, a Mac Mini, an iPad, an iPhone, pretty much the entire collection.
Bernie Mac is relentless. That’s one thing I like about him. He’s not PC. He doesn’t care what you think. He’s going out there to please that audience.
Back in 1985, I was working on my third solo album when the band came to me and asked me to produce the next Fleetwood Mac project. At that point, I put aside my solo work – which was half finished – and committed myself for the next seventeen months to producing ‘Tango in the Night.’
Working long hours being single helps because your time is yours. Once you have a family your time isn’t all yours anymore. Most of the Mac team, we were in our mid-20’s, most of us were single, and we were able to essentially devote our lives to it.
‘Survivor’ wouldn’t have happened had I not gone out there and helped CBS to sell sponsors to finance the first one. Part of my thinking on ‘Survivor’ was that it should have rewards that are corporate brands. A Big Mac, one thimble-full of Coca-Cola.
I once dated someone who worked at McDonald’s. She came up and asked if I wanted a Big Mac.
Arguments over grammar and style are often as fierce as those over IBM versus Mac, and as fruitless as Coke versus Pepsi and boxers versus briefs.
Microsoft makes numerous apps for both Android and iOS, as do Google, Amazon and Facebook. You can run iTunes and iCloud on Windows and Office on the Mac.
When you’re rich and famous you are the dominant force in a relationship, even if you try hard not to be. I’ve talked of sacrificing everything for Fleetwood Mac, but I realize now that it is simply the only thing I’ve ever wanted to do.
We’ve been happy to be able to work with Sony and Microsoft to have the first game that honors everyone’s purchases across iOS, Android, PC, Mac, and the console platforms.
