More quotes by 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.
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 left Jamaica for a while, because as an artist I need to experience different things, see the world, have different energies. Living in one place is not good for me.
Ziggy Marley
Politics, nature, and what is happening all over the world is important to who we are and where we live.
Ziggy Marley
If food is labeled, some people might choose to eat stuff that's genetically modified. They might decide they love it. But give us a choice.
Ziggy Marley
The most important thing my father taught me is that every man has to stand up for his rights.
Ziggy Marley
My father loved all different types of music. He wasn't a snob. He wasn't a purist.
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
Everything I've taken away from my father has been significant. So, I can't say that any one lesson is the most significant. By being around him, I learned that there is a purpose in life, and that if we are inspired to help people, we should do it.
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
So food is important part, not just in our physical well-being, but in our psychological well-being. The more chemicals that are in our food and the more outside of the way it is intended by nature, the more we are messing with things that we probably don't know the full effect of.
Ziggy Marley
I try to make my music interesting to me first, then hopefully other people will find it interesting, too.
Ziggy Marley
Children are wonderful, and they add to my whole life.
Ziggy Marley
I run four times a week. And I don't count miles - I don't do that. I don't care about that. I care about how I feel, and I run according to how I feel.
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
The truth - you've got to deal with it or it will kill you bit by bit.
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 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
Doing something that is productive is a great way to alleviate emotional stress. Get your mind doing something that is productive.
Ziggy Marley
I'm not so much into the beats. I'm more into the spiritual side of the music.
