More quotes by Ziggy Marley

I try to make my music interesting to me first, then hopefully other people will find it interesting, too.
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'm inspired to do music. I really can't stop unless I stop being inspired.

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
If religion had a good purpose, then man would have created something great. But we're man: we mess up everything. We mess up nature. We mess up God. We take what is given to us and make it into what we think it should be.
Ziggy Marley
We still have to evolve, that's how we're created, we're created to evolve so you can believe in that the answer is in this book or in this one idea that the masses most believe in, each individual must evolve themselves, spiritually and consciously.
Ziggy Marley
People treat you according to your energy or what you put out there, so what I put out there is very open. I'm not paranoid or scared, I'm open. That's how I treat people, with respect and speak truthfully.
Ziggy Marley
Reggae has a philosophy, you know? It's not just entertainment. There's an idea behind it, a way of life behind the music, which is a positive way of life, which is a progressive way of life for better people.
Ziggy Marley
Music is one of the most essential things in life. It is what teaches us.
Ziggy Marley
The challenges we face are never as important as the challenges we face up to.
Ziggy Marley
I think God surrounds us, in all different manifestations of the energy.

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.
