I'm not going to do the Ben Harper house record or the Ben Harper drum 'n' bass record.

The spirit is what guides my life, and I'm humbly on my knees in thanks for guidance and direction every day. But God is not something to be preached, it's something to be lived.

It's so hard to do and so easy to say but sometimes you just have to walk away

Make sure the fortune that you seek is the fortune that you need.

Life is short and if you're looking for extension, you had best do well. 'Cause there's good deeds and then there's good intentions. They are as far apart as Heaven and Hell.

You're definitely a different person at different stages in your life.

As a songwriter, I don't rush. I may sit on lyrics for two years before the music hits.
