More quotes by 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
I never took singing lessons. I guess, I feel comfortable with it, but I do not feel like a singer. I never want to sing without a guitar in my hand. I consider myself more of a songwriter, rather than a singer. I could never be in a wedding band and just sing Marvin Gaye songs.
Jack Johnson
Sometimes, the simple messages are the best thing music can do, really. Sometimes, songs can stir people up, motivate them to make change.
Jack Johnson
You better hope you’re not alone.
Jack Johnson
I eat cold eels and think distant thoughts.
Jack Johnson
I finish a lot of lyrics while I'm in the water and it's always pretty constructive for me to get out in the water. I'm not actually writing the words down, but I have time to think about words, and doing a lot of surfing usually gives me a little space and peace of mind to finish things up.

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
love's just a waste of energy and life's just a waste of time so why don't we get together we could waste everything tonight
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
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
It takes a long, hard effort and sustained determination to reduce crime. We will stay the course and we are confident that the numbers will continue to go down.
Jack Johnson
I get nervous when I fly I'm used to walking with my feet.
Jack Johnson
The horizon has been defeated by the pirates of the new age.
