More quotes by 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.

Looking at himself, but wishing he was someone else. Because the posters on the wall, they don't look like him at all.
Jack Johnson
Who’s to say what’s impossible? Well they forgot this world keeps spinning. And with each new day, I can feel a change in everything.

Jack Johnson
It's always better when we're together, somewhere in between together.
Jack Johnson
When I'm playing music I'm usually not thinking of surfing, just because I'm usually thinking about the chords and the lyrics, and sometimes that messes me up 'cause you'll start thinking, Wait, how am I doing this? But when I'm surfing, I'm usually thinking about music - whether it's an idea for a new song, or just singing a song in my head.
Jack Johnson
Dreams are like commercials, but her dreams are picture perfect.

But you're so busy changing the world Just one smile can change all of mine
Jack Johnson
I think that if everybody changed and tried to make their music political, it'd be kind of a bummer.
Jack Johnson
Love is the answer, at least for most of the questions in my heart.
Jack Johnson
You and your heart shouldn't feel so far apart
