I just got into the Beatles a couple years ago, you know, I like it.
Ziggy Marley

Last time I was in Jamaica I financed a teacher to teach in an orphanage.
Ziggy Marley
Image
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
Image
The more red meat and blood we eat, the more bloodthirsty we get, the more violent we get. The more vegetarian food we eat, the more peace is taken into us.
Ziggy Marley
Image
I grew up with coconuts as the main flavor in food in Jamaica. It's part of our culture.
Ziggy Marley
Image
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.

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

Children are the world's future, and we need to take care of them like we would any precious resource.
Ziggy Marley
Image
I'm not a slave to the recording industry. I have the freedom to make an album that I want to make and do it the way I want.
Ziggy Marley

My dream is to live a good life and be loving, be close to God and be a good human being and bring peace to people.
Ziggy Marley
Image
I follow the universe I follow G-d. G-d made the sun, and the sun shines on everyone.
Ziggy Marley
Image
Everything, I just wanted to be like my father. And, as I grew within the music, I kind of became myself which was even more like my father, only without me trying though.
Ziggy Marley
Image
Proud about my father? What am I most proud of? I think I'm proud of the legacy he left I think is what it is. He has left us so much.
Ziggy Marley
Image
My father, we bumped heads when I was younger, much younger... I had different ideas that I shared with him. He didn't like them as much. He gets upset or whatever. I guess I had a strong opinion from when I was a little boy.
Ziggy Marley
Image
If I'm doing a concert, and I'm having a problem with the audience... I just play a Bob Marley song, and I'm good for the rest of the night.
Ziggy Marley
Image
I want to be fulfilled in myself, rather than try to follow exactly in my father's footsteps.
Ziggy Marley
Image
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
Image
I was born by myself but carry the spirit and blood of my father, mother and my ancestors. So I am really never alone. My identity is through that line.
Ziggy Marley
Image
People are loving me because they don't even know me. You're Bob's son. We love you. So I think that's a good thing for a father to leave so much that people are loving their children. I'm proud of that.

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