More quotes by Ziggy Marley
I'm not so much into the beats. I'm more into the spiritual side of the music.
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
People have to know there is more to living than physical things.
Ziggy Marley
I make music that I know that people will enjoy, and balance the ideas and philosophy that we put in music with music that when we play it live, people can move to it and groove to it.
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
Using political tools to change social conditions won't work.
Ziggy Marley
The sun is always shining. We have oxygen, trees, birds. There's so much good things on Earth, still. We haven't destroyed everything.
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 whole family is spiritual. My grandmother, grand aunt, cousins, they're all preachers and pastors. Spirituality is a part of my family, from generations ago.
Ziggy Marley
My father loved all different types of music. He wasn't a snob. He wasn't a purist.
Ziggy Marley
I think God surrounds us, in all different manifestations of the energy.
Ziggy Marley
Today, music is great for entertainment, but it is lacking soul it's lacking substance, and it's difficult to find good stuff. There are too many corporate interests. It's not about the actual music because it's about the corporation, and music just becomes part of a package.
Ziggy Marley
I was 12 when my father passed, so I didn't have a father during my teenage years.
Ziggy Marley
It takes years to develop into the kind of human being you want to be.
Ziggy Marley
Love is cheering and sharing and compassion, and giving and receiving. Love is an action thing more than a word thing, that brings comfort or joy, or relief to anyone or anything.
Ziggy Marley
What inspires me is the universe.
Ziggy Marley
How come fat chance and slim chance mean the same thing?
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 don't chase what I hear on the radio. I try not to compete with anybody.
Ziggy Marley
I was in my yard and thought that the tree was a living being. We take trees for granted. We don't believe they are as much alive as we are.
