Jamaica full of ghetto, but boy, I tell you: me never see it like that  (Damian Marley Quotes) I used to buy records in high school. Mainly dancehall: Super Cat, Buju Banton  (Damian Marley Quotes) I can remember the first time I ever recorded my vocals on to a beat. Cat Coore from Third World - a legendary Jamaican band - had a little demo set up at his house. I’m very good friends with his eldest son, Shiah, who plays with me now. So we were rhyming over a track by the dancehall artist Peter Metro. I’ve still got it somewhere.  (Damian Marley Quotes) 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.  (Damian Marley Quotes) Music is an expression of what’s inside of you. And that’s how I make music.  (Damian Marley Quotes) Coming where I’m coming from, really, my family name isn’t a pressure because, you know, music is not like sports, where you can go and do a hundred reps in a gym and come out and be all buffed up. Music is an expression of what’s inside of you. And that’s how I make music.  (Damian Marley Quotes) More people would recognise me in Kingston, but it’s rare to go on the road and not get recognised by someone. The problem now is everyone has a camera in their pocket, on their cell phone - at the airport it’s difficult to get from point A to point B without taking half an hour because there are so many people taking pictures.  (Damian Marley Quotes) 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.  (Damian Marley Quotes) It might sound like I’m a dreamer, but economic models have reached their height of evolution. Technology has evolved. What hasn’t evolved is mankind’s spirituality; everything is from 3,000 years ago. With spirituality comes morals, a better way of thinking.  (Damian Marley Quotes) Some boy nuh know dis, dem only come around like tourist. On the beach with a few club sodas. Bedtime stories, and pose like dem name Chuck Norris and don’t know the real hardcore.  (Damian Marley Quotes) Your body’s just a vehicle, transporting the soul. It’s what’s inside of people, is beauty to behold.  (Damian Marley Quotes) Everything I’ve experienced, things that my friends have experienced and we talk about, things that are on the news - all aspects of life are in my message.  (Damian Marley Quotes) I record all night and sleep all day. It started because you’re excited about the music and you want to stay up longer, but over 15 years, it’s become a habit. In my circle, I think a lot of musicians operate like this. When the place is quiet, you’re more creative. I have plenty of people I can call at 4 A.M. and know they’ll be up.  (Damian Marley Quotes) I would never say that being Bob Marley’s son has been a pressure. It has been a door opener  (Damian Marley Quotes) The victory’s found in truth, like innocence found in youth Self defeat is your own dispute  (Damian Marley Quotes) It’s not like I go into the studio and say I’m going to try to make music to prove to somebody that I can make music  (Damian Marley Quotes) Music is an expression of what’s inside of you. And that’s how I make music  (Damian Marley Quotes) Music is not like sports, where you can go and do a hundred reps in a gym and come out and be all buffed up  (Damian Marley Quotes) I record all night and sleep all day  (Damian Marley Quotes) A revolution is to bring on change and we’re spiritual people trying to bring on spiritual change. It might sound like I’m a dreamer, but economic models have reached their height of evolution. Technology has evolved. What hasn’t evolved is mankind’s spirituality; everything is from 3,000 years ago  (Damian Marley Quotes) I find it very fascinating that one person or a group of people can get together as a choir and come up with a song that ends up inspiring people to create emotions, love and togetherness. Communication, which comes from this idea that sparks off of humanity and becomes something that is cherished and loved by the people, is very fascinating to me  (Damian Marley Quotes) We take for granted electricity, water, even concerts. Count your blessings  (Damian Marley Quotes) I like singing all songs, really, but I find that writing social commentary comes naturally  (Damian Marley Quotes) Did you know the pen is stronger than the knife: they can kill you once but they can’t kill you twice  (Damian Marley Quotes) Toasting is basically what you call rapping. It came off of playing the beats at the parties, however it be. You find a space in the beat, and you have somebody live just basically saying rhymes over the beat  (Damian Marley Quotes) My father has been a voice of encouragement in times of desperation for so many people. But he died when I was so young that, for me, his music has been a way for me to get to know him better  (Damian Marley Quotes) The average man can’t prove most of the things that he chooses to speak of, and still won’t research and find out the root of the truth that you seek of  (Damian Marley Quotes) I listen to every thing, all kinds of stuff. I’ve been obsessed with the Nas and Damian Marley record, ‘Distant Relatives.’ I feel like a lot of people haven’t heard it, and it’s amazing  (Damian Marley Quotes)
