“Religion has become so many different things. Religion is an economic thing for some people. Religion is a gun.”

My imagination would run wild in the hills.

I was born by myself but carry the spirit and blood of my father, mother and my ancestors. So I am really never alone. My identity is through that line.

Children are wonderful, and they add to my whole life.

I believe we are all connected to other people. I am connected to people who are suffering. We all are.

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.

Men make different investments than women do. Women tend to invest more of their earnings than men do in their family’s well-being – as much as 10 times more.

What I’m hoping is that every album I’m going to do will give my audience something different, and that they’ll grow as I do.

Having children made us look differently at all these things that we take for granted, like taking your child to get a vaccine against measles or polio.

The artist draws the people. The whole idea is for people to dig themselves, just mingle around meeting different other people. That’s cool.

When we relax about imperfection, we no longer lose our life moments in the pursuit of being different and in the fear of what is wrong.

Soul is a constant. It’s cultural. It’s always going to be there, in different flavors and degrees.

Money has only a different value in the eyes of each.

If you don’t have the roots somewhere, it’s very difficult for people to work with you. Because you are a different person from them. They don’t know you, really. They don’t know how you feel.
