More quotes by Ziggy Marley
Everything I've taken away from my father has been significant. So, I can't say that any one lesson is the most significant. By being around him, I learned that there is a purpose in life, and that if we are inspired to help people, we should do it.
Ziggy Marley
There is always a way and always hope in the next sunrise, and in the next second, and in the next minute.
Ziggy Marley
I am freely able to express myself honestly to the public without trying to polish it over, trying to hide something. I'm just trying to be free with my expression.
Ziggy Marley
I don't think we should do anything that should make the people hate the American people more.
Ziggy Marley
The more I grow as an artist, the more I think I become like my father as an artist. The more I diversify, the more I become like my father, which is true to who he was.
Ziggy Marley
I come to sing for the people, not for the government. God made the sunshine for everyone and made the moon for everyone. We have to follow his example so we have to play music for everyone too. We have a message, and in order for our message to reach the people, we have to play.
Ziggy Marley
I am a leader. Leaders always get heat. They're always going against the grain. Jimi Hendrix got heat Bob Marley got heat Miles Davis got heat. Every great artist got heat. Heat means you're doing something right.
Ziggy Marley
I’m not Catholic, I’m not Orthodox… and I wouldn’t even say Rastafarian, that still divides people, I don’t want to divide people so anything that I say is something that must be so big and great that it did encompass everyone and it’s love.
Ziggy Marley
I think if I'm serious about affecting people with music, I have to affect people on a human to human level, not on a grand social idea or political idea, it has to be a human being idea so it has to be what's inside a human being.
Ziggy Marley
I've spent a lot of time in America since Sept. 11, 2001. Being here, I was noticing that the people, who in the '60s used to voice their opinions about their rights, are much different today. People are afraid to voice opposition to the government in a mass way.
Ziggy Marley
It don't last forever, the pain. Realize that tomorrow is coming. Move further from this pain and this stress.
Ziggy Marley
I've tried body surfing. It's nice.
Ziggy Marley
I'm not a slave to the recording industry. I have the freedom to make an album that I want to make and do it the way I want.
Ziggy Marley
I grew up with coconuts as the main flavor in food in Jamaica. It's part of our culture.
Ziggy Marley
I would look at a dog and when our eyes met, I realized that the dog and all creatures are my family. They're like you and me.
Ziggy Marley
I think my type of personality has all music inside of it, so I am full of music, without even knowing it, without even learning it, without even hearing it.
Ziggy Marley
I have found that children are the most open-minded of all my audiences. They are not set in their ways. They are open to ideas.
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
'She Wolf,' by Shakira, makes you want to let go of your inhibitions and jam.
Ziggy Marley
The people don't run the system the people are victims of the system. The people choose the leaders thinking that they will help them. But when they turn around, there is no help.
Ziggy Marley
