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 wouldnt feel like a job. So I did that. – Jason Mraz
Its easier to write from my own life, and its also more fun. I always write about relationships, for instance, whether theyre romantic relationships, friendships, encounters… theres always a lesson to be learned from them. – Jason Mraz
I always think of the live show first, where the song is gonna go in the show. Thats why they arent sad songs. When I play, I want to make people happy, not sad. Its 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
I didnt know if I had the music for it or if I could pull off the larger concert experience. Then I realized if I can just continue to be myself, Ill be all right. – Jason Mraz
