More quotes by Ziggy Marley
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
Hemp is a part of the cannabis plant and it is very useful.
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
Old music used to mean something. There is none of that today.
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
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
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
The people don't run the system the people are victims of the system. The people choose the leaders thinking that they will help them. But when they turn around, there is no help.
Ziggy Marley
Love is cheering and sharing and compassion, and giving and receiving. Love is an action thing more than a word thing, that brings comfort or joy, or relief to anyone or anything.
Ziggy Marley
Working on my own gave me a chance to take my time and experiment a lot.
Ziggy Marley
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 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 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
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
I want people to get over the stigma about hemp. These seeds can't make you high, but they will make you feel good.
Ziggy Marley
As an artist, I feel that my father's biggest influence is me realizing that music has a purpose and it's not just for business and that music is spiritual. I get that from him that music is a spiritual thing.
Ziggy Marley
I try to make my music interesting to me first, then hopefully other people will find it interesting, too.
Ziggy Marley
It don't last forever, the pain. Realize that tomorrow is coming. Move further from this pain and this stress.
Ziggy Marley
Each of us has some change within us, we cannot change the political or the social system of the world unless we change inside of us as individuals and that’s the direction I am in now which I call spiritual.
Ziggy Marley
Yoga is a great thing and meditation is also great to get connected to yourself more.
