I think we all have a role to play in life.

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

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.

The love is the part of us that can never go. It's the essence that was always there, so that can never go.

I have not become the artist I believe I am. I want to become a stadium act. I'm not done at all.

If I don't channel pain into a song, I play my guitar or play the piano or play my drums, or go swimming.

I write songs on a universal basis. I was born out of the earth of Jamaica which I consider to be a part of Atlantis, the sunk continent, but that's my thing. But I write songs on a universal basis, not like Jamaican songs.
