More quotes by Ziggy Marley
I prefer the country life. I live in Kingston, but there is lots of trees.
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
God is like the sun. When the sun shines, it shines for everyone. God is for everyone.
Ziggy Marley
Sometimes my mistakes turn into interesting music because I do things that aren't supposed to be done.
Ziggy Marley
I'm not so much into the beats. I'm more into the spiritual side of the music.
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.
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
Growing up, music was an important part of my childhood. I see it being just as important in my children and all children's growth and development, and in a parent's connection with their children.

My best business decision was to be independent as a musician and artist. My worst was compromising on certain aspects of a deal for the sake of other members of my group when I shouldn't have, because I was right in the end.
Ziggy Marley
My greatest accomplishment is the freedom for doing what I want to do with my music...I love my freedom so I'm happy I am a free artist.
Ziggy Marley
Things like lack of leadership and a lack of the willingness to evolve, they’re so used to keeping people within the constraints of the idea that has been the same idea for a thousand years.
Ziggy Marley
My father's songs don't intimidate me my father's songs are my songs. My songs are his songs. There's no intimidation.
Ziggy Marley
My father loved all different types of music. He wasn't a snob. He wasn't a purist.
Ziggy Marley
The challenges we face are never as important as the challenges we face up to.
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
The most important thing my father taught me is that every man has to stand up for his rights.
Ziggy Marley
To me, everything is connected. We're a part of nature. We are organic beings. None of us were - all of us come out of a woman. That's the way we're growing.
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
