Just getting back to the essence. Even the record I put out, 1 of 1, I went to Jamaica and shot that video and I’m singing in the song - that was different for me Picture Quote #1

In Jamaica, you’re never very far away from people who don’t have very much, and in Wilmette, pretty much everybody had a lot Picture Quote #1

I grew up with coconuts as the main flavor in food in Jamaica. It’s part of our culture Picture Quote #1

The whole world is set up so that for places like Switzerland to exist, that are crime-free and with the best care for everybody, you have to have places like Sudan, or Jamaica. But really, there’s enough to share, when you check it. It’s not that complicated, really. It’s probably less thinking and more feeling that’s required Picture Quote #1

In England, rain was thin and cold, and made you hunch up inside your coat, walking home from the bus stop.

My father is from Jamaica, and as a child I spent many holidays there. I remember the weight and drenching wetness of that hot rain, as I experienced it in my childhood, not only for itself, but for what it represented for me Picture Quote #1

I grew up in uptown Jamaica; I went to a rich school. I was raised by my mother and my stepfather; they made sure education came before anything. I had a good childhood, grew up spending time with my bigger brothers and sisters. My people are good people. I was exposed to a lot of different kinds of people and culture Picture Quote #1

I grew up in South Jamaica, Queens, in New York. My parents were very religious churchgoing people. They were very strict. I was never really allowed to indulge in anything vain. Modesty always. I have three brothers and two sisters, so everything was on a budget Picture Quote #1

By the time my first album was out, I had been out in Jamaica three or four years, but I had hits out at that time that were bona fide hits Picture Quote #1

I’m a huge Bob Marley fan; I remember going to Jamaica for the first time when I was a kid and I got so obsessed with the steel drums Picture Quote #1

I’m a huge reggae fan. I want to go to Jamaica and make, like, Bob Marley ‘One Love’ positive songs. That’s what the world needs Picture Quote #1

We’ve seen many heroes from Jamaica, you know, and to be put in that class or to be looked upon on that level is overwhelming. It’s pretty big shoes to fill, you know. I’m a size eight, but I’ll try my best Picture Quote #1

I’m intent on marketing Jamaica. Jamaica has the best coffee, the best sugar, the best ginger and some of the best cocoa in the world Picture Quote #1

The 70’s was a great time for artistic expression in Jamaica and I was in the heart of it, unconsciously soaking it up and paving my future Picture Quote #1

Stuart Hall was an utterly unique figure. Although he arrived at the age of 19 from Jamaica and spent the rest of his life here, he never felt at home in Britain. This juxtaposition was a crucial source of his strength and originality. Because of his colour and origin, he saw the country differently - not as a native, but as an outsider Picture Quote #1

At Harvard, I got to meet and have dinner with Jamaica Kincaid. Just to have conversations with professors was absolutely amazing Picture Quote #1

So in Jamaica it is the aim of everybody to talk English, act English and look English. And that last specification is where the greatest difficulties arise. It is not so difficult to put a coat of European culture over African culture, but it is next to impossible to lay a European face over an African face in the same generation Picture Quote #1

Jamaican music can be aggressive, soulful, smooth and exciting all at once - just like hip-hop. At the same time, there’s nothing like Jamaica in the United States. Jamaica is its own thing Picture Quote #1

Jamaica is kind of similar to Miami, but to go from there to Miami, and then Miami to L.A., it’s crazy Picture Quote #1

By the time my first album was out, I had been out in Jamaica three or four years, but I had hits out at that time that were bona fide hits Picture Quote #1

I read about this hotel that was great, down in the south of the island, not in a touristy area. I had no particular desire ever to go to Jamaica, but I thought, what the hell? Sounds nice. Let’s go! Picture Quote #1

Last time I was in Jamaica I financed a teacher to teach in an orphanage Picture Quote #1
