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

The roots of my music start from the ghetto.

The challenges we face are never as important as the challenges we face up to.

Success means different things to different people. To me, the greatest quality of successful human beings is the ability to love.

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.
