“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.”

I don’t have to wait to realize the good old days.

All of my life I’ve been growing into who I am in my life today and I am still growing, but I believe in love and nothing can deter me in that.

The people who are teaching religion and not teaching love are missing the message.

I’m always in love.

Alcohol, tobacco, and pharmaceutical drugs are legal, but they can hurt a lot of people.

I love running in nature. I don’t like running on the streets, I don’t like running in the city, I don’t like running on the concrete. I love running in nature, so Jamaica provides a lot of that for me.

Old music used to mean something. There is none of that today.

My dream is to live a good life and be loving, be close to God and be a good human being and bring peace to people.

The sun is always shining. We have oxygen, trees, birds. There’s so much good things on Earth, still. We haven’t destroyed everything.

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.

Why should I want to be white? I am a Negro – and beautiful!

In a basic way, acceptance is seeing clearly what’s happening and holding it with kindness. This is a radical antidote to the suffering of judging mind.

Well, the title “An Inconvenient Truth” is a way of highlighting the reasons why some people, including the president, don’t seem to accept the truth.

I accept my body. I accept how I am and make the best of what I am given.

I sing to the realists, people who accept it like it is. I express problems. There are tears when it’s sad and smiles when it’s happy. It seems simple to me, but for some people, I guess feelin’ takes courage.

Radical Acceptance is the willingness to experience ourselves and our lives as it is.

We don’t ask a flower any special reason for its existence. We just look at it and are able to accept it as being something different from ourselves.

I want to learn how to be more thankful for what I am, than guilty for what I’m not.
