More quotes by Ziggy Marley
Hopefully people hear that a part of what hurts society has a lot to do with the diet, the food that you're eating. So let's be careful.
Ziggy Marley
Music is one of the most essential things in life. It is what teaches us.
Ziggy Marley
If there is no love in your heart - so sorry, Then there is no hope for you - true, true
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 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
Reggae music is simple music - but it's from the heart. Just as people need water to drink, people also need music. If it is true music, the people will be drawn to it.
Ziggy Marley
I've been in Africa, America, moving around a lot. It's helped me to open up my mind. I was born in Jamaica I've lived all my life there and got all I could from Jamaica. But I needed to be somewhere else to grow.
Ziggy Marley
I have a satellite radio show called 'The Legends of Reggae.' It's a cool way to branch out and do other things. I'm paying respect to the legends of reggae.
Ziggy Marley
Old music used to mean something. There is none of that today.
Ziggy Marley
I go running. I go into nature. I really alleviate lot of emotional stress, any kind of stress I'm going through - exercise is my favorite medicine.
Ziggy Marley
In my songs, the sex is all subliminal. It's subliminal, spiritual.
Ziggy Marley
Everything that we put into our bodies should also be of nature, a part of that cycle of nature. Once you start messing with that - as I said, everything is connected. Once you start messing with psychological well-being, we get more and more messed up.
Ziggy Marley
It's that kind of in-born music thing - I could pick up the guitar and play something. It's not something I consciously do.
Ziggy Marley
As an artist myself I don't like to be preached. I want to enjoy myself, so I kind of use that perspective to make music.
Ziggy Marley
I was born by myself but carry the spirit and blood of my father, mother and my ancestors. So I am really never alone. My identity is through that line.
Ziggy Marley
People have to know there is more to living than physical things.
Ziggy Marley
My father and I had a really good relationship. We're cool. I am not trying to outdo him or anything like that.
Ziggy Marley
This dragonfly came up to me. He was hovering right in front of my face, and I was really examining him, thinking, How does he see me? I became enlightened.
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
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.
