“I know this is going to sound corny, but you need to be good to people. You need other people to get what you want out of life — not to use them, but it’s important to have people on your side and to have people root for you”
Macy Gray. Illustration: Lauren Tamaki Macy Gray’s raspy, rattling, soulful voice is one of the most distinct in R&B music. She released her critically acclaimed debut album On How Life Is in 1999 when she was 32 years old, and its most popular song, “I Try,” launched her into megastardom and delivered her a Grammy.
Lately I’ve been working out, usually at my house. I put on a sauna suit, and I ride a stationary bike. My driveway is a long hill, and I run up and down that about four times, too. I also have a tennis court.My love is music, and I have not been able to focus on that too much lately. We have a lot going on: starting a new record soon, opening a restaurant, and a beauty shop [Macy Gray’s Braid Bar in Woodland Hills, California]. It’s just a matter of knowing what to put first in the day.
It costs a lot of money to have a No. 1 record. There’s a lot of people that have to be hired, and you have to hire the right people, and there’s a lot of money involved. It’s setting it up, and making all the right moves, and having the finance to do it.Lately I’ve been stressed out constantly. I’m not managing it well at all. Stress for me feels like the look on your face when you stub your toe. It’s painful, like you can’t wait to figure it all out so you can get that look off your face.
You can plan to death, but life does what it wants. You don’t know what’s going to go right, what’s going to go wrong. You just deal with it. You just keep going until you see what’s going to happen. Just don’t stop. Because if you stop, you’ve got nothing.I take everything personally. I don’t say anything, but I’m actually pretty sensitive. When I see something that mentions my name, I’m really nervous about reading it. I don’t read all of my reviews.
