A lot of people in the religious world believe that by secularizing, or viewing the changes as secular, such as dropping the beard and changing my appearance, they consider this to be a fall.

If I've grown as an artist, it will be represented in the art. There's no need to explain it.

Some artists are bound to an image: Bob Marley has dreadlocks, Matisyahu has a beard. But that's a reminder that the whole thing is not about style. It's about music.

I don't think you could pull one Bob Marley song that didn't have quotes from the Torah or the Old Testament.

When there's light shining on a tree, that tree takes on different meaning. If there's no light at all it just looks dead. If you look at light as godly meaning, the world comes alive in a certain way.

Everyone's right or wrong, Everyone's got an opinion, put them in a song and let me keep on living.

The beauty of life is not knowing.
