Society and the system and politicians don't want people to be aware of things. They want people to believe what they have to show 'em.

Politics, nature, and what is happening all over the world is important to who we are and where we live.
Ziggy Marley
Image
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

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.

The most important thing my father taught me is that every man has to stand up for his rights.
Ziggy Marley

People believe that there's no room for change, there's no room to grow and if we're talking about this idea of God which is the infinite then there's no way that there's no room to grow because infinity is endless. So there must be more room to understand more and to evolve the way we think about this idea.

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.

I love running in nature. I don't like running on the streets, I don't like running in the city, I don't like running on the concrete. I love running in nature, so Jamaica provides a lot of that for me.

If religion had a good purpose, then man would have created something great. But we're man: we mess up everything. We mess up nature. We mess up God. We take what is given to us and make it into what we think it should be.

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.

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.

There's a rainbow in the sky, all the time, don't be blind

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

I think parents today are looking for meaningful things for their kid. It's about feeding them something with meaning.

I learned from my father that music is from God and the message is from God.

Old music used to mean something. There is none of that today.

Feb 6 1945 St. Ann, Jamaica, Daddy was born. I remember us celebrating one of his birthdays in Jamaica at 56 Hope Road with him, no big superstar party, just us kids, Mommy, some cake, few laughs and that was it. Even if he wasn't known to the world on Feb 6th I would still think of him and in my heart say Happy Birthday Daddy. Love.
