More quotes by Ziggy Marley
I don't chase what I hear on the radio. I try not to compete with anybody.
Ziggy Marley
I don't fight creativity. I don't fight against not being creative. If I'm not being creative, I'm not forcing it.
Ziggy Marley
My father, his spirit is with me constantly, and I'm a believer in that world and the world of dreams. So I've had dreams of my father over the years, and that's the way I really stay connected to him. He's still in my subconscious. He lives in there.
Ziggy Marley
I never did feel any pressure in Jamaica. You just someone, not nobody big.
Ziggy Marley
I used to have this little mouse. I buy birds from the pet store and I let them go.
Ziggy Marley
I am not reggae, I am me. I am bigger than the limits that are put on me. It all has to do with the individual journey.
Ziggy Marley
I don't condemn and I don't convert. I've been searching through books and bibles to find what this life is worth, and I've made up my mind: Love is my religion. You can take it or leave it, and you don't have to believe it. Love is my religion
Ziggy Marley
Reggae music is not an easy music to like when it comes to the power in society. 'Cause it talks about changing society. You won't find it readily accepted.
Ziggy Marley
My best business decision was to be independent as a musician and artist. My worst was compromising on certain aspects of a deal for the sake of other members of my group when I shouldn't have, because I was right in the end.
Ziggy Marley
Nobody owns me or my music.
Ziggy Marley
Running is a part of my medicine. It's what helps relieve my stress, and it's what helps me get away from the concerns of business and anything else that's going on in my life that I need to escape from at times - to find who I am. Running really helps me with that.
Ziggy Marley
It was my dad’s idea that music is supposed to be more than simply about entertainment and making a living, but about being of service as an integral part of the consciousness of the world. In honor of him and because it’s right, I use music in that light.
Ziggy Marley
I don't care what you play, where you're from, who you produce. It depends on what you're doing when you're with me. That's what counts. I don't pre-judge anything or anybody.
Ziggy Marley
I grew up with coconuts as the main flavor in food in Jamaica. It's part of our culture.
Ziggy Marley
Feb 6 1945 St. Ann, Jamaica, Daddy was born. I remember us celebrating one of his birthdays in Jamaica at 56 Hope Road with him, no big superstar party, just us kids, Mommy, some cake, few laughs and that was it. Even if he wasn't known to the world on Feb 6th I would still think of him and in my heart say Happy Birthday Daddy. Love.
Ziggy Marley
I think that music, beats, melody, sound are a natural part of our DNA, our vibe. It’s just a part of the cycle of our lives, we’re born, we have eyes, we have music.
Ziggy Marley
I don't believe in other people's ideas. I have my own ideas.
Ziggy Marley
The African-American community still needs to come together as one and stand up for rights of the people and of what's happening in their culture, their community.
Ziggy Marley
I'm not so much into the beats. I'm more into the spiritual side of the music.
Ziggy Marley
The present is what slips by us while we're pondering the past and worrying about the future.
Ziggy Marley
