I basically had the idea when I was 18 that I wanted to write my own songs. I knew it was going to be a long, tough road, and I was like, if I just begin now, by the time I'm 40, I'll be good at it.

More quotes by Jason Mraz
I had always been singing, all of my life, but it wasn't until I got out of high school and was on my own that I didn't have any accompaniment.
Jason Mraz
I ride a bicycle everywhere I go, the physical strength is obvious, but my mental strength and my capacity to love myself and to love others has definitely expanded. And that's the one thing I need the most in taking on a life of touring and a life of basically being with hundreds of people every day and not exhaust one's energy.
Jason Mraz
The more I travel around the world, the more I see people want the same thing - to be happy. We wouldn't be in a monetary system if we didn't have to work, so if my music can contribute to happiness, then that's my main responsibility.
Jason Mraz
My goal is to show everyone that they, too, can do what they love to do.
Jason Mraz
I'm not a virtuoso on an instrument. You know, I'm not always singing in pitch. I laugh sometimes my way through the shows, but I'm an honest songwriter who's always tried to bring the audience with me on my journey in hopes that they see their own lives reflected in the work.
Jason Mraz
You can't live the rest of your life carrying a pain because your parents couldn't get along. I choose to spend my life crafting a joy.
Jason Mraz
I would enjoy doing what cats do: singing, sleeping, and licking my nuts.
Jason Mraz
I do feel most at home playing live, but the feeling of getting into the studio to see the new songs take shape was really incredible.
Jason Mraz
I was raised playing music in coffeehouses and I feel that was the foundation for my career. I think it is important that we remember where we came from.
Jason Mraz
Cause even the stars they burn, some even fall to the earth. We've got a lot to learn, God knows we're worth it.
Jason Mraz
I am who I am, you are who you are, and everything else is a perception based on acceptance, deception, smoke, mirrors, and so on. It's what's between us that seems to justify our accidental identities.
Jason Mraz
It's our God forsaken right to be loved, loved, loved.
Jason Mraz
For the first thirty years of my life I exercised very little, and I smoked cigarettes for ten or twelve years, and I ate junk food. And I began to see some elders in my community's health decline, and I didn't want that to happen to me.
Jason Mraz
Songs always get better after you start playing them live.
Jason Mraz
So often the woman forgets her own greatness and she goes a little bat sh-- crazy sometimes. So its up to the other half to love that person back into the person we know them to be.
Jason Mraz
Because I trust in the ever-changing climate of the heart. (At least, today I feel that way.) I think it is necessary to have many experiences for the sake of feeling something for the sake of being challenged, and for the sake of being expressive, to offer something to someone else, to learn what we are capable of.
Jason Mraz
Life can't work for you if you don't show up as you.
Jason Mraz
I think especially with the Internet and the amount of reality shows that are going on, there's no way to keep a secret anymore, so I try to let my project be as much as reality show as I can allow it to be.
Jason Mraz
Two halves don't make a whole. Two wholes make a whole. In my relationship, I was giving myself away to make the relationship better, but in actuality, wasn't doing better by doing that. I became less of a man.
Jason Mraz
It's through my health that I'm able to maintain that every single day and keep light in people until I'm actually of service to others.
