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

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.

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

Arts is just as important as military defense, you know? Emotional defense is just as important.

It is only when you’re lying to yourself or hating some aspect of yourself that you’ll get an emotional charge from someone else’s behavior.

The spirit for me is the eternal self. And when one incarnates, an aspect comes with that incarnation, that’s called the soul. And together the mind, the emotional body, and the soul form the energy field that lives within this thing called the human body.

I’m not terribly sentimental.

The human emotional system can be broken down into roughly two elements: fear and love. Love is of the soul. Fear is of the personality.

Rejoicing in ordinary things is not sentimental or trite. It actually takes guts. Each time we drop our complaints and allow everyday good fortune to inspire us, we enter the warrior’s world.

I could never, ever talk to my father. I really loved him, but we couldn’t talk about anything together. There was this really British thing that being even remotely emotional was absolutely verboten.

From the sentimental point of view, it is the last great Polar journey that can be made.
