Your body's just a vehicle, transporting the soul. It's what's inside of people, is beauty to behold.

Music is an expression of what's inside of you. And that's how I make music.

Technology has changed things, same as everywhere. But the economy has changed drastically. When Jamaica first won independence, our dollar was stronger than the U.S. dollar. Now ours is about 90 to one. That's had a big impact on crime and poverty.

The greatest thing to me about Obama is not the individual, it does not have to do with Obama himself - it's really about the people who have elected Obama. It demonstrates that people are ready for change, and I think Obama knows that, because he really came up from the people, the young generation especially. He motivated a lot of African Americans who never voted before to go and vote.

Poverty breeds a lot of things. When people are desperate and trying to survive, they do drastic things.

It's not like I go into the studio and say I'm going to try to make music to prove to somebody that I can make music.

I would never say that being Bob Marley's son has been a pressure. It has been a door opener.
