We want people to see us live before we continue on and call ourselves recording artists. - Jason Mraz
There's a certain feeling of giving, a certain feeling of generosity in love songs. When you sing a song of love, you're actually giving something to yourself, too. You're singing and casting these affirmations of love out into the universe. - Jason Mraz
And if you're singing to someone, or if they're singing along, and suddenly you're in harmony, then it's actually making a huge difference on a subatomic level that is actually transforming the world. - Jason Mraz
But my strength was in singing and songwriting, which was a new discovery for me when I was 18. And I decided if I pursued songwriting, which is what was closest to my heart, then there would be no competition. I would just live my life being myself and living my dream. - Jason Mraz
You know, there's still a lot of great songwriters out there who hand in songs. And there's a lot of brilliant singers and performers out there who sing other people's words. I enjoy doing both. - Jason Mraz
But that guitar is the perfect companion to the human voice. You rest it against your gut, against your heart, and when you strum it the vibrations go outwards for all to hear, but the vibration also hits you on your body. - Jason Mraz
I do feel most at home playing live, but the feeling of getting into the studio to see the new songs take shape was really incredible. - Jason Mraz
I always think of the live show first, where the song is gonna go in the show. That's why they aren't sad songs. When I play, I want to make people happy, not sad. It's such a pleasure for me to do what I do, and I want other people to feel some form of that pleasure, too. - Jason Mraz
Music was always the distraction, so it was the obvious choice to pursue. My dad always said to find a job I love to do, that way it wouldn't feel like a job. So I did that. - Jason Mraz
Genre-spanning is the effort to make the live show interesting. It's also a great way to challenge yourself as a writer. - Jason Mraz
I have a very awesome seat in the house every time I play. When the lights come up, and the sound turns on, I'm playing for a roomful of human beings. And geographical and political borders just all dissolve. And we unite through rhythm inhalation. I mean, I'm so grateful that, you know, audiences around the world connect to English music. - Jason Mraz
I loved photography and everybody said it was a crazy thing to do because in those days nobody made it into the film business. I mean, unless you were related to somebody there was no way in. - George Lucas
I'm not much of a math and science guy. I spent most of my time in school daydreaming and managed to turn it into a living. - George Lucas
I've never been that much of a money guy. I'm more of a film guy, and most of the money I've made is in defense of trying to keep creative control of my movies. - George Lucas
I was never interested in being powerful or famous. But once I got to film school and learned about movies, I just fell in love with it. I didn't care what kind of movies I made. - George Lucas
I work really, really hard and it's challenging going through all of those time zones and having to be awake when you're supposed to be asleep. I literally fly more than a pilot. - Miranda Kerr
I want to be a good role model for girls and show them they can do whatever they feel passionate about and still live a healthy life. - Miranda Kerr
You have to focus on what you're passionate about. For me it's the forests and of course, because I'm concerned about the forests, I'm concerned about the way paper is made. - Woody Harrelson
I'm one of those actors who is going to come in with 2,500 ideas. You can shoot down 2,499, but one of them you're going to like. - Woody Harrelson
