More quotes by Jack Johnson
Home is wherever we are if there's love here too
Jack Johnson
you don't always have to hold your head higher than your heart
Jack Johnson
Love is when you find that thing, when you want to give more than you want to take. When you find the things that you love the most and you want to give those away, that's love. It's when you want somebody to be happier than yourself, but then once you make them happy, it makes you happier.
Jack Johnson
The bitter attacks I faced were far worse than any fighter I ever faced in the ring. The caustic remarks, the threats to injure me, the shots at my character-fighting those were my toughest battle.
Jack Johnson
Pretend like it's the weekend, ... We could pretend it all the time.
Jack Johnson
I can go for a week without a guitar, but it's not even funny if I don't get to surf for a month.
Jack Johnson
If it seems like you are playing around and not practicing, that's when you know you really love it.
Jack Johnson
Schedules are impossible to me. I am excited to be on tour, but there are instances when I wish that I wasn't managed. The shows are fun, but six hour drives burn me out.
Jack Johnson
All caught up in the trends, well the truth began to bend.
Jack Johnson
You and your heart shouldn't feel so far apart
Jack Johnson
There were so many fewer questions when stars were still just the holes to heaven.
Jack Johnson
I want to turn the whole thing upside down I'll find the things they say just can't be found I'll share the love I find with everyone We'll sing and dance to Mother Nature's song I don't want this feeling to go away.
Jack Johnson
We get to go out into the schools and work with the kids on connecting them to their food at a young age, to actually see where their food is coming from, to see that their food is coming from the earth and not just from a supermarket. Once they make that connection, they can start to build upon that.
Jack Johnson
Getting lost is not a waste of time.
Jack Johnson
When I do these interviews, I get really nervous. And when I get nervous, it comes off as mellow for some reason.
Jack Johnson
Sometimes I just start humming something, find a melody I like a lot, and if it sticks around for a couple days, a few words will lock themselves into place. I might just get the first line. Then words just keep falling into the syllables. The choruses kind of write themselves and verses I have to work at a little bit.
Jack Johnson
We've got everything we need right here, and everything we need is enough.
Jack Johnson
She barely understands her dreams of belly button rings and other kind of things. Symbolic of change, but the thing that is strange, it that the changes occur, and now she's just a part of the herd.
Jack Johnson
You need aspiration if you want to really achieve greatness in this world.
Jack Johnson
We've all got the blood on our hands, we only receive what we demand.
