We need that expression. Whether we want to call it protest or not, we need to express and echo the echoes of the people. Artists need to do that.

I've done a lot of things to become what I've become, out to create and establish a musical form and I call it movie.

I'd rather be a free man in my grave than living as a puppet or a slave.

Certain artists have a role to echo the echoes of the people and that's what I'll be doing on my next album.

We're not to be surprised at all what we see happening in every part of the world. It's a change of the return of things.

I'm an artist. And I'm happy that I was there at the commencement of this music, this Jamaican music, to put my contribution and help to establish it.

I don't know where life will lead me, but I know where I've been. I can't say what life will show me, but I know what I've seen. Tried my hand at love and friendship, but all that is passed and gone. This little boy is moving on.
