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.

More quotes by Ziggy Marley
Nobody owns me or my music.
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
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
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
I have found that children are the most open-minded of all my audiences. They are not set in their ways. They are open to ideas.
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
I have a satellite radio show called 'The Legends of Reggae.' It's a cool way to branch out and do other things. I'm paying respect to the legends of reggae.
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
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
Working on my own gave me a chance to take my time and experiment a lot.
Ziggy Marley
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.
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
I am freely able to express myself honestly to the public without trying to polish it over, trying to hide something. I'm just trying to be free with my expression.
Ziggy Marley
My father, my Rastafari culture, has a tight link to the Jewish culture. We have a strong connection from when I was a young boy and read the Bible, the Old Testament.
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 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
Kids are an important audience to reach for the future of the planet.
Ziggy Marley
When people come to Jamaica, we don't want them to think about the problems of Jamaica. So let them come be in their paradise.
Ziggy Marley
The most important thing my father taught me is that every man has to stand up for his rights.
Ziggy Marley
