Last time I was in Jamaica I financed a teacher to teach in an orphanage.

My father and I had a really good relationship. We're cool. I am not trying to outdo him or anything like that.

As an artist myself I don't like to be preached. I want to enjoy myself, so I kind of use that perspective to make music.

The people don't run the system; the people are victims of the system. The people choose the leaders thinking that they will help them. But when they turn around, there is no help.

It don't last forever, the pain. Realize that tomorrow is coming. Move further from this pain and this stress.

I left Jamaica for a while, because as an artist I need to experience different things, see the world, have different energies. Living in one place is not good for me.

I'm a big reader. My kids love reading, and I think it's important, not just for development but for bonding. You start reading to kids before they can even understand what you're saying to them, so I look at it as a fundamental tool for connection.
