I drive a hybrid. It's a Ford Escape. That's my only car.
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 music industry has been hijacked by corporate interests, but the way music affects people and resonates with them hasn't changed.
Michael Franti
One of the things I love about yoga is that it brings you into the present moment. You aren't worried about what will happen tomorrow and you aren't thinking about what happened yesterday. It's about opening your heart and living from your heart.
Michael Franti
The more I see, the less I know.
Michael Franti
My yoga practice, I do it because when I get on my mat, I know I'm going to be transformed. I know that whatever stresses are in my life or whatever worries I have or whatever monkey mind is happening for me, when I get off the mat, I'm going to be transformed.
Michael Franti
Playing on the streets of Iraq, or in Israel or the Gaza strip, I'd sing angry protest songs against war. People would say, 'Make us clap, make us dance, and laugh and sing.' It really made me think about the importance of happy music.
Michael Franti
Music and yoga have a great synergy.
Michael Franti
San Francisco has always been a haven for misfits and weirdos. I'm both of those, which is why I came here.
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
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
When I first started out, I thought it was enough to make an angry song that pointed out the problems of the world.
Michael Franti
It ain't about who ya love, it's all about do ya love.
Michael Franti
No life's worth more than any other, no sister worth less than any brother.
Michael Franti
Love is the action of soul satisfaction.
Michael Franti
Power to the peaceful!
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.
Michael Franti
If the first casualty of war is innocence, then perhaps with each bullet fired, bomb detonated, leader overthrown, wall built, economy destroyed and family member killed, we are not creating goodwill and harmony, but rather another child who believes violence is the only means to bring about change in the world.
Michael Franti
I think my soul is intact, but my methods of reaching people are completely different.
Michael Franti
Through music I either tame my demons or unleash them and allow them to be what they are. I don't want the music to be about provocation, I want the music to bring you to a place where you feel at home
