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 not reggae, I am me. I am bigger than the limits that are put on me. It all has to do with the individual journey. |
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. |
Religion has become so many different things. Religion is an economic thing for some people. Religion is a gun. |
This dragonfly came up to me. He was hovering right in front of my face, and I was really examining him, thinking, How does he see me? I became enlightened. |
I'm not an American, Do they count the votes in America? I haven't voted in Jamaica either. |
I left Jamaica for a while, because as an artist I need to experience different things, see the world, have different energies. Living in one place is not good for me. |
I am a leader. Leaders always get heat. They're always going against the grain. Jimi Hendrix got heat; Bob Marley got heat; Miles Davis got heat. Every great artist got heat. Heat means you're doing something right. |
If it is, it is, If it's not, it's not. |
Love is more than one thing. |
In my songs, the sex is all subliminal. It's subliminal, spiritual. |
I don't have to wait to realize the good old days. |
If religion had a good purpose, then man would have created something great. But we're man: we mess up everything. We mess up nature. We mess up God. We take what is given to us and make it into what we think it should be. |
The more I grow as an artist, the more I think I become like my father as an artist. The more I diversify, the more I become like my father, which is true to who he was. |
I was in my yard and thought that the tree was a living being. We take trees for granted. We don't believe they are as much alive as we are. |
I've opened up more by traveling outside Jamaica. It helps me to grow as a person to be outside of my element; to be on my own in a strange place meeting people. |
When people come to Jamaica, we don't want them to think about the problems of Jamaica. So let them come be in their paradise. |
Last time I was in Jamaica I financed a teacher to teach in an orphanage. |
I prefer the country life. I live in Kingston, but there is lots of trees. |
I think it's wrong the way they criminalize herb. There are many more uses than just smoking. Beneficial to mankind. |
