More quotes by Ben Harper
As long as someone else controls your history the truth shall remain just a mystery
Ben Harper
I get diminishing returns when I bore myself in an interview.
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
You look like gold. I've been fooled before, but now I know I've made the mistake in the past. But now I, now I know the difference from gold and brass.
Ben Harper
You're living life in real time, man, and we' ve got a good amount of work to do for each other. Hiding is not an option and you're going to step out and you're going to make mistakes.
Ben Harper

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
If interviews are just interviews or if music is just music, why are we even doing it? You only get so many hours in a lifetime, man.
Ben Harper
The very thing that drives you, can drive you insane Got a head full of thought crimes and a number with no name Got an eleventh hour Jesus and a mouth full of blame A casket lined with silver dollars and a number with no name.
Ben Harper
There's only one proper way a song should go, but you've got to be patient enough to let them come together time wise. Sometimes it's lightning in a bottle and you got the song. But oftentimes it shows up.
Ben Harper
There's something in everyone only they know.
Ben Harper
But I would never insult the people that love this music and I would never insult the blessing of music in my life and I would never insult myself by playing uninspired music.
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
I'm not going to do the Ben Harper house record or the Ben Harper drum 'n' bass record.
