“Reggae music is not an easy music to like when it comes to the power in society. ‘Cause it talks about changing society. You won’t find it readily accepted.”

There is a physical relationship with a woman that you don’t have with anybody else, but that’s not about love. Love is a spiritual thing.

Music is one of the most essential things in life. It is what teaches us.

I think my type of personality has all music inside of it, so I am full of music, without even knowing it, without even learning it, without even hearing it.

I am expressing myself truthfully. That is an important thing.

Today, music is great for entertainment, but it is lacking soul; it’s lacking substance, and it’s difficult to find good stuff.

I’m inspired to do music. I really can’t stop unless I stop being inspired.

It’s very important that we instill some respect for the parents.

I make music that I know that people will enjoy, and balance the ideas and philosophy that we put in music with music that when we play it live, people can move to it and groove to it.

Love is a positive effect. Love can never have a negative effect, only a positive effect.

Running helps me relieve my stress.

I want to be fulfilled in myself, rather than try to follow exactly in my father’s footsteps.

Photographs bring back the memories.

I don’t believe in other people’s ideas. I have my own ideas.

It’s important to make sure you move your body every day. 

Hemp is a part of the cannabis plant, and it is very useful.

Being perfect is being flawed, accepting it, and never letting it make you feel less than your best.

Most days, I am the rain. – And that’s okay.

Sometimes I don’t like my thighs or stomach, but whenever I get caught up in that, I always focus on the fact that I’m healthy now.

The only term I won’t accept is “genius.”

Rock ‘n’ roll accepted me and paid me, even though I loved the big bands I went that way because I wanted a home of my own. I had a family. I had to raise them. Let’s don’t leave out the economics. No way.

It strikes me as bad manners for a magazine to accept one of my advertisements and then attack it editorially – like inviting a man to dinner then spitting in his eye.

Know where you have been, where you are now and where you want to be.

Everybody wants to go to Heaven, but no one wants to die to get there!
