More quotes by Ziggy Marley
My father's music gives hope to people and also inspires them to break the bonds of injustice and to be positive in life. I've seen that everywhere I go, especially in poor countries and poor neighborhoods.
Ziggy Marley
I was in my yard and thought that the tree was a living being. We take trees for granted. We don't believe they are as much alive as we are.
Ziggy Marley
I don't think we should do anything that should make the people hate the American people more.
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
I used to have this little mouse. I buy birds from the pet store and I let them go.
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
I've been in Africa, America, moving around a lot. It's helped me to open up my mind. I was born in Jamaica I've lived all my life there and got all I could from Jamaica. But I needed to be somewhere else to grow.
Ziggy Marley
I am not trying to be better than my father. I am not trying to be like him. I am just trying to be myself and express myself how I feel.
Ziggy Marley
Record stores keep the human social contact alive it brings people together. Without the independent record stores the community breaks down with everyone sitting in front of their computers
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
I've opened up more by traveling outside Jamaica. It helps me to grow as a person to be outside of my element to be on my own in a strange place meeting people.
Ziggy Marley
I think the people should have a right to boycott whoever they want to boycott without the government making them into criminals and try to protect corporations from people. They should protect people from corporations.
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
I'm digging Batman. I'm digging that balance, that duality. He's always on the edge and trying to balance himself within the rules of what's lawful and justice, and being Bruce Wayne and being Batman.
Ziggy Marley
Last time I was in Jamaica I financed a teacher to teach in an orphanage.
Ziggy Marley
I don't care what you play, where you're from, who you produce. It depends on what you're doing when you're with me. That's what counts. I don't pre-judge anything or anybody.
Ziggy Marley
In my songs, the sex is all subliminal. It's subliminal, spiritual.
Ziggy Marley
The political system is not for the people. The people are secondary to the economy. It's about what generates money, not about what benefits the people.
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
The idea of who my father is to me is very different than who he is to you, or to the rest of the world.
Ziggy Marley
