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

I grew up with coconuts as the main flavor in food in Jamaica. It’s part of our culture.

Everywhere you go, my love will follow.

What inspires me is the universe.

I think Americans should have a policy of love. That should be the foreign policy, love. Export Love.

The solution for mankind is of a spiritual nature. It is not a political or religious solution. It’s the ability to love each other. That’s the only solution I see.

My life is a life of accepting what the universe has offered me. I don’t fight the universe.

Love is more than one thing.

I’ve never read one book about my father.

My father loved all different types of music. He wasn’t a snob. He wasn’t a purist.

Some of my songs I don’t do on tour because they don’t work well live.

If food is labeled, some people might choose to eat stuff that’s genetically modified. They might decide they love it. But give us a choice.

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.

Success to me does not mean money.

There’s a rainbow in the sky, all the time, don’t be blind

Art is always good. It just depends if you like or not.

Children are the world’s future, and we need to take care of them like we would any precious resource.

There is no enemy more vicious than your own anger.

I hope you find someone who matches your passion and your efforts. Someone who is mentally and emotionally equipped enough to help build you back up in your time of need.

It’s tremendous what can happen when suddenly you make an emotional connection.

I think, being emotional is this thing that people think you’re not strong. They don’t look at you as a strong person, and it’s weird ‘cuz honestly being emotional has nothing to do with your strength.

I’m insane, I’m emotional, but I’d rather be that than a robot. So that’s definitely something that I wanted to get out there. Especially with Cry Baby’s story, because the album is about Cry Baby but I realized that me and her went through the same change.

As the fisherman depends upon the rivers, lakes and seas and the farmer upon the land for his existence, so does mankind in general depend upon the beauty of the world about him for his spiritual and emotional existence.

Mystery is an intellectual process. But suspense is essentially an emotional process.

Because I could not stop for death, He kindly stopped for me; The carriage held but just ourselves and immortality.
