More quotes by Michael Franti
I've always found that the poorer the places that I go, the more smiles I see, and the more happiness I see.
Michael Franti
A lot of times we look at the whole world and think, 'it's so daunting, how can we change the whole world?' and you don't need to do that, what you need to do is change your world a little bit, and see if you can, through example, inspire others to do the same thing.
Michael Franti
The human interest, and the natural interest, and the spiritual interest of this planet need to begin to take a priority over the corporate interest, the military interest, and the materialistic interests.
Michael Franti
It ain't about who ya love, it's all about do ya love.
Michael Franti
I always know when a song is good or close to finished. When I sing it, it makes me feel the emotion. My tears will start flowing or I'll start laughing. I'll start feeling whatever intensity or emotion was the seed of that song.
Michael Franti
When you're in Jamaica, unless you're in a tourist spot, you don't hear Bob Marley you mostly hear dance hall music.

Power to the peaceful!

I drive a hybrid. It's a Ford Escape. That's my only car.
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
It's also hard for me to understand growing up not knowing where I came from. I searched for my parents - I started when I was twenty I found both my mother and my father when I was twenty-two. Trying to catch up on twenty-two years that we can never get back, trying to reconcile that - that's a hard thing for me.
Michael Franti
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.

The more I see, the less I know.
Michael Franti
No life's worth more than any other, no sister worth less than any brother.
Michael Franti
There are so many things to be worried about, and I wanted to make a record that people could put on, and it would lift them up the way the sun did for me each day.
Michael Franti
Whenever people go out of their way to help other people - there's power and beauty in our diversity.
Michael Franti
Don't fear the night time, Because the monsters know that you're divine. And don't fear the sunshine, Because everything is better in the summer time...
Michael Franti
Every single soul is a poem.
Michael Franti
The world can't have a global solution to climate change with U.S. action alone and the world can't have a global solution without U.S. action.
Michael Franti
Music is sunshine. Like sunshine, music is a powerful force that can instantly and almost chemically change your entire mood. Music gives us new energy and a stronger sense of purpose.
