I don't make records for pleasure. I did when I was a younger artist, but I don't today. I record so that I can feed people what they need, what they feel. Hopefully, I record so that I can help someone overcome a bad time

More quotes by Marvin Gaye
Don't play with something you should cherish for life.
Marvin Gaye
I'm hooked my friend to the boy who makes slaves out of men, and oh believe me, flying high in a friendly sky.
Marvin Gaye
Who isn't fascinated by evil?
Marvin Gaye
To be an artist is a blessing and a privilege. Artists must never betray their true hearts. Artists must look beneath the surface and show that there is more to this world than what meets the eye.
Marvin Gaye
Too busy thinking about my baby and I ain't got time for nothing else.
Marvin Gaye
Ain't no mountain high enough, ain't no valley low enough, ain't no river wide enough, to keep me from getting to you.
Marvin Gaye
Music is one of the closest link-ups with God that we can probably experience. I think it's a common vibrating tone of the musical notes that holds all life together.
Marvin Gaye
If you cannot find peace within yourself, you will never find it anywhere else.
Marvin Gaye
And givin' yourself to me can never be wrong
Marvin Gaye
Music, not sex, got me aroused.
Marvin Gaye
Are thing really gettin' better like the newspaper said/What else is new my friend, besides what I read/Can't find no work, can't find no job my friend/Money is tighter than it's ever been/Say man, I just don't understand/What's going on across this land
Marvin Gaye
Ain't nothing like the real thing.
Marvin Gaye
What about this overcrowded land/How much more abuse from man can she stand?
Marvin Gaye
I hope to refine music, study it, try to find some area that I can unlock. I don't quite know how to explain it but it's there. These can't be the only notes in the world, there's got to be other notes some place, in some dimension, between the cracks on the piano keys.
Marvin Gaye
Jesus left a long time ago, said he would return. He left us a book to believe in, in it we've got an awful lot to learn.
Marvin Gaye
I'd been studying the microphone for a dozen years, and I suddenly saw what I'd been doing wrong. I'd been singing too loud. One night I was listening to a record by Lester Young, the horn player, and it came to me. Relax, just relax. It's all going to be all right.
Marvin Gaye
War is not the answer, for only love can conquer hate
Marvin Gaye
I want to stop and thank you baby, how sweet it is to be loved by you.
Marvin Gaye
An artist, if he is truly an artist, is only interested in one thing and that is to wake up the minds of men, to have mankind and womankind realize that there is something greater than what we see on the surface.
Marvin Gaye
Negotiating means getting the best of your opponent.
Marvin Gaye
