You can turn off the sun, but I'm still gonna shine

I'm totally into new age and self-help books. I used to work in a bookstore and that's the section they gave me, and I got way into it. I just loved the power of positive thinking, letting yourself go.

Getting on stage is a bonus, that's my therapy, that's when I can tell stories and it all makes sense.
Jason Mraz -
But you are beautiful And you better go show it So go look again You gotta be true to your own If you really wanna go to the top Do you really wanna win Don’t believe in leaving normal Just to satisfy demand ((Beauty in Ugly))
Jason Mraz -
The rules of life are made up. The rules only exist in your mind.

You make all the fashion statements just by dressing up your mind.

Some people they simply just want to hear you. And others actually have things they want to share and talk with you about. So it's important for me to be as strong as I can when I leave home so I can hold space for all of it.

It's our God forsaken right to be loved, loved, loved.

For the first thirty years of my life I exercised very little, and I smoked cigarettes for ten or twelve years, and I ate junk food. And I began to see some elders in my community's health decline, and I didn't want that to happen to me.

In case you never noticed, the path you never chose has chosen you.
Jason Mraz -
Surrender to life itself and you'll just be rewarded with so many things. And I've been rewarded so many times, in so many mysterious ways. So I have no reason to be disappointed with anything.
Jason Mraz -
I use music and mantras that transform my thoughts from the negative to the positive. If I'm thinking the world is a horrible place, I can transform my life by saying, 'I won't give up', 'I won't worry my life away' and 'I won't hesitate no more', using these lyrics to change my experience. That is, I believe, what makes me seem like a positive person.

My touring isn't about collecting souvenirs and always being on the go. My souvenirs are writing in my journal and creating new music, because that fits easily into my backpack when I'm travelling around the world. It's something that I can share later with fans or with future family members.
Jason Mraz -
If i were to lose my memories, I would rely on music. There is so much of my story embedded in each.

Life can't work for you if you don't show up as you.
Jason Mraz -
I've been compared to people since the beginning. When you're starting out, you need a comparison so people will understand you right away.
Jason Mraz -
I feel like I write the same album every time but each time I try to convey the message more simply.
Jason Mraz -
Paul McCartney and John Lennon would often write a song a day, so I have the same workmanlike philosophy.
Jason Mraz -
The soil is actually the greatest technology we have for adapting to climate change. And I feel it's our generation's duty to build it back up.
Jason Mraz -
Everything in life influences my music. I've always used songwriting as a means to share what I think is profound.

Do you ever wonder what happens to the words that we send Do they bend, do they break from the flight that they take And come back together again with a whole new meaning In a brand new sense, completely unrelated to the one I sent ((Did You Get My Message?))
Jason Mraz -
Thanks to music I have found a deeper connection to an otherwise elusive God. Thru music I get to commune directly, and daily. On a side note to readers, any service or craft you give your heart to will give you the same effect. Don't be afraid to work less and play more! We are human. We didn't come here to hold down a dayjob. We came here to live and learn!
Jason Mraz -
Quite simply I've distilled my mission down to the essence. The only thing I'm really here to do is shine light on people's lives through music, through laughter and to simply enjoy being with people.
Jason Mraz -
I buy records from all across the board. I get kind of a hybrid of influences in my own music.
