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.
I don't have to wait to realize the good old days.
My father and I had a really good relationship. We're cool. I am not trying to outdo him or anything like that.
I make music that I know that people will enjoy, and balance the ideas and philosophy that we put in music with music that when we play it live, people can move to it and groove to it.
I want people to get over the stigma about hemp. These seeds can't make you high, but they will make you feel good.
Hemp is a part of the cannabis plant, and it is very useful.
Growing up, music was an important part of my childhood. I see it being just as important in my children and all children's growth and development, and in a parent's connection with their children.
'She Wolf,' by Shakira, makes you want to let go of your inhibitions and jam.
'Master Blaster,' by Stevie Wonder, is up-tempo and fun, like Stevie himself. Stevie's always making jokes; he really knows how to put people at ease. He's one of my inspirations, as a musician and a person.
It's very important that we instill some respect for the parents. In America especially, the kids are unruly, screaming at Mommy and Daddy, running the show.
My father's songs don't intimidate me; my father's songs are my songs. My songs are his songs. There's no intimidation.
Everyone will someday be judged for what they do, and Jah is the only judge.
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'm not an American, Do they count the votes in America? I haven't voted in Jamaica either.
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.
Jamaica has problems; America has problems; everywhere has problems.
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.
I've been in Africa, America, moving around a lot. It's helped me to open up my mind. I was born in Jamaica; I've lived all my life there and got all I could from Jamaica. But I needed to be somewhere else to grow.
I never did feel any pressure in Jamaica. You just someone, not nobody big.
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.
