My goal is to show everyone that they, too, can do what they love to do.
Jason Mraz -
One thing I'm most passionate about is that I'm geared up and ready for another cycle of touring, to go out in the world and be whoever I need to be for someone.

Live High, Live Mighty, Live Righteously
Jason Mraz -
I had never made a record before, so I didn't know anything about it. I don't know anything about knobs, frequencies, tones.
Jason Mraz -
I try not to write songs. I would rather emote them, and I found myself going back to my room every night while on my trip, just pouring out new songs and new stories about what I was seeing, what I was feeling.
Jason Mraz -
I discovered at 18 that singing and songwriting was my strength. I decided that it was closest to my heart and if I pursued it then there would be no competition. I would just live my life being myself and living my dream.
Jason Mraz -
I basically had the idea when I was 18 that I wanted to write my own songs. I knew it was going to be a long, tough road, and I was like, if I just begin now, by the time I'm 40, I'll be good at it.
Jason Mraz -
I still go through stages of wanting to try other trades. When I was young I thought I'd be a magician. And then a cartoonist. Or a professional roller-skater. But there wasn't much support for those on career day.

You are the mountain, you are the rock You are the cord and you’re the spark You are the eagle, you are the lark You are the world and you’re remarkable You’re the ocean eating the shore You are the calm inside the storm You’re every emotion, you can endure You are the world and the world is yours. ((The World as I See It))

My dad is still the only Mraz in the Mechanicsville phone book, so he's getting calls from girls to see if I'm home!

A picture can say 1000 words but it can also inspire you to write 1000 more.
Jason Mraz -
If you have a dream, this is your chance. We don't always have to play it safe because people might think you're weird.
Jason Mraz -
A lot of those ideal towns are all starting to look the same, the specifics are starting to disappear. So we need to retain a love for life, a love for one's family, a love for where one's really from.
Jason Mraz -
It’s strange how dreams get under your skin and give your heart a test for what’s real and what’s imaginary.

Sometimes people forget their own greatness.
Jason Mraz -
Traveling has a major impact on what I do, cause all over the world I'm meeting all kinds of people. And relationships is the second major impact that I have. I just enjoy the variety that the world has to offer.
Jason Mraz -
I love writing songs with people, which is about really taking risks, throwing yourself over the falls and really seeing what you're made of and seeing how it sticks. Seeing how others react to it, and seeing also how it can become a melody and how it can really take off from your experience. It's a way of seeing life unfold on the page before me.
Jason Mraz -
I had always been singing, all of my life, but it wasn't until I got out of high school and was on my own that I didn't have any accompaniment.
Jason Mraz -
Life doesn't come at you. It comes from you.
Jason Mraz -
Sometimes touring can warp reality because you're never in one place long enough to get a feel for it. You don't interact with people long enough to know what real life is. That's why a lot of artists write songs about longing and missing people when they're on the road. I do my best to keep my mind open and I read a lot when I'm on tour, so I hope I have good things to write about. I'm constantly in the songwriting process.

I had to have a lot of jobs until I was supporting myself through music, but I knew that those jobs were all leading me to something. It was all, again, about taking things one step at a time, one day at a time.
Jason Mraz -
Oh my, justifying reasons why Is an absolutely insane resolution to live by ((Live High))
Jason Mraz -
Well, I won't give up on us, Even if the skies get rough I'm giving you all my love, I'm still looking up
Jason Mraz -
When you're writing a song and there are five people invested in it, it's easy for one person to say, 'Oh, this song is about this and that', and everyone has to hear the idea and see if they can do better.
