More quotes by Ziggy Marley
What inspires me is the universe.
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.
Ziggy Marley
I make music that I know that people will enjoy, and balance the ideas and philosophy that we put in music with music that when we play it live, people can move to it and groove to it.
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
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
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
The more chemicals that are in our food, the more we are messing with things that we probably don't know the full effect of.
Ziggy Marley
I want to be fulfilled in myself, rather than try to follow exactly in my father's footsteps.
Ziggy Marley
I don't think we should do anything that should make the people hate the American people more.
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
Social revolutions and group revolutions are good, and we need that, but we also need personal revolution - revolution within ourselves that change who we are as people.
Ziggy Marley
Kids out there now have learning issues. Having mental issues. And everybody is looking towards what drug to give them, but is anyone looking at the food that the children are eating? What you're eating has a big impact.
Ziggy Marley
The most important thing my father taught me is that every man has to stand up for his rights.
Ziggy Marley
I am a compassionate human being. I am who I am.
Ziggy Marley
Doing something that is productive is a great way to alleviate emotional stress. Get your mind doing something that is productive.
Ziggy Marley
I've spent a lot of time in America since Sept. 11, 2001. Being here, I was noticing that the people, who in the '60s used to voice their opinions about their rights, are much different today. People are afraid to voice opposition to the government in a mass way.
Ziggy Marley
I don't like to do things for any other reason than it happens spontaneously or there's something that makes it happen naturally. I don't like putting down too many plans and trying to do a strategy to get a certain response or a certain effect.
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
Last time I was in Jamaica I financed a teacher to teach in an orphanage.
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.
