The soil is actually the greatest technology we have for adapting to climate change. And I feel it's our generation's duty to build it back up.

I get my most creative energy after a show, so I love to go back to the hotel and compose new material. I generally do it in a rush. I have to get it out, otherwise I can't sleep.

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!

For the first thirty years of my life I exercised very little, and I smoked cigarettes for ten or twelve years, and I ate junk food. And I began to see some elders in my community's health decline, and I didn't want that to happen to me.

I think surprises are what's great about life: "WHOA! I didn't see that coming!"
