“The most important thing my father taught me is that every man has to stand up for his rights.”

When the seeds of justice are trees and the fruits we eat are sweet, I will be glad.

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.

All my life, men have told me I wasn’t pretty enough – even the men I was dating. And I’d be like, ‘Well, why are you with me, then?’ It’s always been men putting me down just like my dad. To this day when someone says I’m cute, I can’t see it. I don’t see it no matter what anybody says.

But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.

When you kill a man, you steal a life. You steal his wife’s right to a husband, rob his children of a father. When you tell a lie, you steal someone’s right to the truth. When you cheat, you steal the right to fairness.

The father, the mother and the teacher are the three primarily responsible for moulding the future of the country.

I probably have an earlier curfew than anyone. My mom wants to keep me really safe and my dad’s not overly protective, but he’s a dad no matter what.

I’m a polygamist. I can afford to have as many wives as I can afford to have. All Africans believe in it. My dad has four wives.

As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you.

I delayed my father’s funeral because of cricket.
