I've never really been into flags of any kind, cause flags can bring people together, but they always bring people together against other people, and I don't really consider myself to be a patriot in the sense that I say, 'okay, this is my nation,' I consider myself to be a child of this whole planet.
Michael Franti

Michael Franti
My goal has not ever been to change minds, my goal is to open minds.
Michael Franti
My mother and father took me in and provided everything for me - the love, nurturing, basic necessities - to give me the space to grow wings, so that when I went out into the world, I could fly.
Michael Franti
It doesnt matter if youre black, white, gay, straight, come from different countries, different language... every single person is significant and is meaningful.
Michael Franti
I have a passion to make a difference in the world. And that difference can be just making the fans at my show leave with a smile on their face and feeling uplifted.
Michael Franti
I could be really sad and I start to cry I feel alive then. I could be at a concert and I throw my hands up in the air and I feel elation I feel alive then.
Michael Franti
Sometimes, I feel like I can do anything, and, sometimes, I'm so alive, sometimes, I feel like I could zoom across the sky and, sometimes, I wanna cry.
Michael Franti
San Francisco has always been a haven for misfits and weirdos. I'm both of those, which is why I came here.
