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
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
I believe that in order to tackle the big issues of the world today, like environmental issues, we need everybody's involvement. We need the resources of the corporate world. We need the cooperation of governments. We need the wisdom of indigenous people.

Many kids in foster homes have a lot of emotions that are hard to get out. It's important to let them know they can make a difference in the community.
Michael Franti
The times when I feel not alive is when I feel stifled, when I feel like the emotion that's in me is not coming out. I'm too busy, too hectic. I'm serving my iPhone more than my spirit. Those are the times I feel bad.
Michael Franti
We only have X amount of days and time on this planet - how am I going to spend that time? The way that I want to spend it is caring about the people that I love the most, and fighting to make the world a more livable place for everybody.
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
No life's worth more than any other, no sister worth less than any brother.
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
Michael Franti
I think my soul is intact, but my methods of reaching people are completely different.
Michael Franti
The hardest part about what I do, the most vulnerable place is my relationship with my family and Sara, my amazing partner, because I'm leaving a lot. And as a touring artist, I'm constantly coming and going, but also when I'm at home, my studio's at home. I'm leaving to go into a music world in my head.
