I guess my music career is my personal life. You know, I’ve always been a writer who wants to write about my experiences. And so this experience being added to that, I – I want to live extraordinary experiences. And when I give advice to people, I want it to be sage advice. Jason Mraz Read Quote

I don’t follow any of what the pop world is doing. Sometimes I feel like that’s a weakness, actually, that I’m too in my own bubble. But I’m really just interested in the inner journey. And pop is all about the exterior world, the material. Jason Mraz Read Quote
The more I travel around the world, the more I see people want the same thing – to be happy. We wouldn’t be in a monetary system if we didn’t have to work, so if my music can contribute to happiness, then that’s my main responsibility. Jason Mraz Read Quote
