More quotes by 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
Screaming, it's not me. I tried it before! Action is more my thing. Not talking. It's hard for me to have word fights, fighting with words. I'd rather just listen.
Ziggy Marley
I want to be fulfilled in myself, rather than try to follow exactly in my father's footsteps.
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.

'Master Blaster,' by Stevie Wonder, is up-tempo and fun, like Stevie himself. Stevie's always making jokes he really knows how to put people at ease. He's one of my inspirations, as a musician and a person.
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.

Art is always good. It just depends if you like or not.
Ziggy Marley
I was 12 when my father passed, so I didn't have a father during my teenage years.
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
How come fat chance and slim chance mean the same thing?
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
If African countries can unite and pull resources together, then that will be the best thing we could ever do for the problems in Africa including AIDS.
Ziggy Marley
What inspires me is the universe.
Ziggy Marley
It's hard to say a favorite song of my father's. I listen to all his stuff a lot of the old stuff before the '70s.
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
My father, his spirit is with me constantly, and I'm a believer in that world and the world of dreams and that stuff.
Ziggy Marley
I wouldn't mind doing more in the kid's world because I think that might be just where I can be most useful to society, to the planet, if I can speak to children.
