[Kingston, Jamaica] is the city, it's not a beautiful beach. But at the same time when I go to Jamaica, that's the only place I want to go. It's where the culture is its richest.

Jamaica is so musical, diverse and so extreme, from people singing in the streets to dancing.

I would be lying if I didn't say that the most inspirational place for me is Jamaica.

I've always felt acting is a part of music.

When you think about the passion that's involved wth Jamaican culture, it's like, they're not sitting around waiting for things to get all pretty: they want it raw and dutty.
