I jumped off the wheel of fortune because I wanted to simplify things. Now I've fulfilled my obligations to myself by making my new record. I'd like it to sell millions of copies, but my self - worth is not based on chart positions.

Our self image is based on people comments, so most images are false. You aren't this and this, they made you, because they wanted!

While growing up in Birmingham around a lot of West Indian people, reggae and calypso were big influences early on but Otis Redding was the one person who made me wanna sing myself.

Almost every place you work for, you will have to take a beating on your self+value and self+worth especially so if you are a man of your own opinions who calls a spade a spade. It is only the people pleasers who get along well at work with anybody.

I believe that you are a product of your environment; however, I also believe you are in charge of creating the comfort within your environment; which in turn makes you a product of your creation!

You've got to say what you mean and mean what you say...Doubt in your voice is an open door people will shove right through.
