QUOTES BY Michael Franti

You can bomb the world to pieces, but you can't bomb it into peace. Power to the peaceful.

The corporate media is there to push the agenda of the sponsors, and many of those sponsors are weapons manufacturers. So it stands to reason that you won't get a diversity of opinions on television.

I'm always trying to find optimistic ways to express myself.

All the freaky people make the beauty of the world.

I drive a hybrid. It's a Ford Escape. That's my only car.

I'm a news junkie who's constantly reading newspapers and magazines. I look around and see what's happening in the world.

Collectively, we activists are essential to advancing U.S. policy to help empower marginalized people to lift themselves and their communities out of poverty for good.

My mother, she made sure all of us were treated the same and had the same opportunity to grow and develop, so that when we left the house, we could fly on our own. And she also knew when we got out into the world, we'd treat others that we came across with that same treatment and respect.

My music is part of the quest I have to find new ways of telling stories, and also, I want to inspire people.

The more places I go to, the more I realize I understand so little about the world.

The way the music comes to you starts to affect how you listen to music. When you're a kid, it's 'Does it rock? Does it make me feel good? Does it make me tap my feet? Does it make me go to sleep?'
