american-journalist life physical
There's more to life than physical and materia.
american-journalist
If it is, it is, If it's not, it's not.
american-journalist guitar music pick
It's that kind of in-born music thing-I could pick up the guitar and play something. It's not something I consciously do.
american-journalist
I like Flea, I like him as a musician.
moving somewhere-else america
I've been in Africa, America, moving around a lot. It's helped me to open up my mind. I was born in Jamaica; I've lived all my life there and got all I could from Jamaica. But I needed to be somewhere else to grow.
running kids america
It's very important that we instill some respect for the parents. In America especially, the kids are unruly, screaming at Mommy and Daddy, running the show.
america jamaica problem
Jamaica has problems; America has problems; everywhere has problems.
jamaica america vote
I'm not an American, Do they count the votes in America? I haven't voted in Jamaica either.
Everyone will someday be judged for what they do, and Jah is the only judge.
guy happens jamaica music time
Even if I wasn't in music, even if my father was a carpenter, some guy in Jamaica would go 'You're just like Bob. You're just like your father.' That happens in Jamaica all the time.
I'd rather be by myself, really, than have, like, a million posse around me.
against artist bob davis great heat hendrix marley means miles
I am a leader, so leaders always get heat. They're always going against the grain. Jimi Hendrix got heat; Bob Marley got heat; Miles Davis got heat. Every great artist got heat. Heat means you're doing something right.
expression trying able
I am freely able to express myself honestly to the public without trying to polish it over, trying to hide something. I'm just trying to be free with my expression.
father kids son
Some guys that know me from when I was a kid say "My son, oh he's just like your father." It's just a natural part of our lives. But, within the music industry and within the industry of the critiques of music, where it becomes "Ziggy's music is not as good as Bob's music," I don't understand. But I don't really pay much attention to that because I'm just expressing myself.
