More quotes by Ben Harper
I want to try to be who I am today, not who I was yesterday.
Ben Harper
I really feel like the sky is the limit with the Innocent Criminals today.
Ben Harper
There's no room in my life for religion. Religion is separation and segregation of God. How can you segregate the Almighty?
Ben Harper
I get diminishing returns when I bore myself in an interview.
Ben Harper
Sometimes I feel I know strangers Better than I know my friends Why must a beginning Be the means to an end? The stones from my enemies These wounds will mend But I cannot survive The roses from my friends.
Ben Harper
Every single time I step into the studio, I say, 'Can I still do this? Do I still have it? Have I ever had it?' I suppose there's a good amount of self-loathing that goes into any form of artisanship.
Ben Harper
My head works in music, so there's always music there.
Ben Harper
It's so hard to do and so easy to say but sometimes you just have to walk away
Ben Harper
I love being on the road, I love playing.
Ben Harper
I want to try to not be the child that had to go through too much too young. I want to be who I am now and not who I was then.
Ben Harper
As a songwriter, I don't rush. I may sit on lyrics for two years before the music hits.
Ben Harper
If I fall, I fall. I'll rise up like anybody else.
Ben Harper
The spirit is what guides my life, and I'm humbly on my knees in thanks for guidance and direction every day. But God is not something to be preached, it's something to be lived.
Ben Harper
When it comes to partnership, some humans can make their lives alone - it's possible. But creatively, it's more like painting: you can't just use the same colours in every painting. It's just not an option. You can't take the same photograph every time and live with art forms with no differences.
Ben Harper
I'm more afraid of falling than I am of flying high. I'm not as scared of dying as I am of growing old. Every battle has its glory and its consequence.
Ben Harper
My band is the best band in the world, period. So, I insist on every song being better than it is on the record. So by the end of the tour, we have to be playing the song better than how it's recorded.
Ben Harper
They say time will make all this go away. But it's time that has taken my tomorrows and turned them into yesterdays.
Ben Harper
I'm a living sunset, lightning in my bones.
Ben Harper
If you're gonna live, then live it up. If you're gonna give, then give it up. If you're gonna walk the Earth, then walk it proud. If you're gonna say the word, you got to say it loud.
Ben Harper
It will make a weak man mighty. it will make a mighty man fall. It will fill your heart and hands or leave you with nothing at all. It's the eyes for the blind and legs for the lame. It is the love for hate and pride for shame. That's the power of the gospel.
Ben Harper
