Ben Harper
Fearlessness, absolutely. Discipline. You also need open-minded creativeness that lets everything in. You never want to lose a word or a phrase, yet every one should count. Always the best language possible. And, finally, knowing when to leave it alone. Stop when it's done.
Ben Harper
If you're gonna live, then live it up.
Ben Harper
If it comes out sounding like Dixieland jazz or classical or punk or rock or even slightly metal, that's because that's where I'm going to find inspiration.
Ben Harper

Ben Harper
Every time feels like my first time. And I just find that the process of it feeds into one's own self-obsession.
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.
