Religion has become so many different things. Religion is an economic thing for some people. Religion is a gun.

It's hard to say a favorite song of my father's. I listen to all his stuff - a lot of the old stuff before the '70s.

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 don't fight creativity. I don't fight against not being creative. If I'm not being creative, I'm not forcing it.

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.

URGE is a grassroots charity. We organized to get some incubators to give to the hospital for the kids. We donate money to orphanages.

Love is a positive effect. Love can never have a negative effect, only a positive effect.

I used to have this little mouse. I buy birds from the pet store and I let them go.

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.

God is like the sun. When the sun shines, it shines for everyone. God is for everyone.

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

Working on my own gave me a chance to take my time and experiment a lot.

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.

The sun is always shining. We have oxygen, trees, birds. There's so much good things on Earth, still. We haven't destroyed everything.

I would look at a dog and when our eyes met, I realized that the dog and all creatures are my family. They're like you and me.

The last thing my father told me was: 'On your way up, take me up. On your way down, don't let me down.' A father telling his son that puts some responsibility on my shoulders. He told me that, and I take it very seriously.

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.

No matter the bad things that happened in past time, let's try to live the best we can now.

I rented a house, recorded the stuff in a house. Just took my time 'cuz sometimes it's just rush, rush, rush. I just wanna live and play music.

Love is cheering and sharing and compassion and giving and receiving. Love is an action thing more than a word thing, that brings comfort or joy or relief to anyone or anything.
