More quotes by Ben Harper
If you're gonna live, then live it up.
Ben Harper
As a songwriter, I don't rush. I may sit on lyrics for two years before the music hits.
Ben Harper
The music is in the lead here, and a large part of this, I have no idea what I'm doing. I feel a closer bond with the craft of songwriting, stronger than I ever have.
Ben Harper
There's something in everyone only they know.
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

I can't not put myself in the shoes of every person I pass.
Ben Harper

Ben Harper
I'm really looking forward to, not more of the same, but a continual growth.
Ben Harper

Ben Harper
My main concern when travelling around the world is finding a place to skateboard!
Ben Harper
Life's the longest picture you're ever gonna take.
Ben Harper
I get diminishing returns when I bore myself in an interview.
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
To go through this life and see it through - what it really is - and not be insane or addicted, is a minor miracle for anyone.
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
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
There's no room in my life for religion. Religion is separation and segregation of God. How can you segregate the Almighty?
