I've abused myself a lot over the years. But my voice is still intact - really, it's better.

People might say, 'Jimmy Cliff, you've done a lot, achieved a lot. What more can you want?

Beyond everything else, that's one of the things that kept us going, that keeps me going, you know, the eternal love, knowing that I am in the love of the all and all love is in me.

I am not one of those artists who is cemented in one way. I am able to, you know, make the happy, jovial, lighthearted music too. We need that in life too. So it's like that to me.

If I could change one thing about myself... I would try to control my generosity.

Social justice has always been a part of my inspiration. For example, when the Vietnam War was going on, I wrote a song about that.

I love to create and that's what gives my soul the satisfaction.
