“What inspires me is the universe.”

True music makes true fans.

I am a leader. Leaders always get heat. They’re always going against the grain. Jimi Hendrix got heat; Bob Marley got heat; Miles Davis got heat. Every great artist got heat. Heat means you’re doing something right.

I like doing nothing, actually. Doing nothing is better thing when I am not working.

I’m not so much into the beats. I’m more into the spiritual side of the music.

We can overcome the obstacles through human unity.

Yoga is a great thing and meditation is also great to get connected to yourself more.

A couple of people can literally make a whole forest of a difference.

It don’t last forever, the pain. Realize that tomorrow is coming. Move further from this pain and this stress.

Music is the vehicle of man’s life.

Last time I was in Jamaica I financed a teacher to teach in an orphanage.

As an artist myself I don’t like to be preached. I want to enjoy myself, so I kind of use that perspective to make music.

I am so confident in that idea that if love gets a chance, it will transform the community and the world into a more prosperous place, because we are capable of love.

Doing something that is productive is a great way to alleviate emotional stress. Get your mind doing something that is productive.

Love is cheering and sharing and compassion and giving and receiving. Love is an action thing more than a word thing, that brings comfort or joy or relief to anyone or anything.

There is always a way and always hope in the next sunrise, and in the next second, and in the next minute.

When the seeds of justice are trees and the fruits we eat are sweet, I will be glad.
