More quotes by Ziggy Marley
I just got into the Beatles a couple years ago, you know, I like it.
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
I don't have to wait to realize the good old days.
Ziggy Marley
My dream is to live a good life and be loving, be close to God and be a good human being and bring peace to people.
Ziggy Marley
It was my dad’s idea that music is supposed to be more than simply about entertainment and making a living, but about being of service as an integral part of the consciousness of the world. In honor of him and because it’s right, I use music in that light.
Ziggy Marley
The last thing my father told me was: 'On your way up, take me up. On your way down, don't let me down.' A father telling his son that puts some responsibility on my shoulders. He told me that, and I take it very seriously.
Ziggy Marley
I'm not so much into the beats. I'm more into the spiritual side of the music.
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
Last time I was in Jamaica I financed a teacher to teach in an orphanage.
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
There is always a way and always hope in the next sunrise, and in the next second, and in the next minute.
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
Each of us has some change within us, we cannot change the political or the social system of the world unless we change inside of us as individuals and that’s the direction I am in now which I call spiritual.
Ziggy Marley
'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
Reggae music is not an easy music to like when it comes to the power in society. 'Cause it talks about changing society. You won't find it readily accepted.
Ziggy Marley
My father, his spirit is with me constantly, and I'm a believer in that world and the world of dreams. So I've had dreams of my father over the years, and that's the way I really stay connected to him. He's still in my subconscious. He lives in there.
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
Everything is connected. There is nothing that is not connected.
Ziggy Marley
My father was like the Old Testament. I am the New Testament. I am part of a new generation. In time, people will realize this.
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.
