Sean Paul

With everything that's thrown at you, whether it be problems at home, problems at work - whatever - basically, if you remain positive, you can see your way out of that.

Time Rolls On' is my most political piece so far. It's not on my album because people didn't support it.

Sometimes you have to take a break from being a crazy kid. You can't be doing that all the time. Sometimes you just have to pay respect to your own simple-ness.

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.

Every time you think a negative thought, it's one step in the wrong direction, for me.

I don't want to do something unproductive with my time, so I decided to do something musical. So it felt good to say, 'Yeah, I'm producing.' It gave me a fresh vibe - inspiring in a different way.

I would like to work with anyone in the business who wants to give respect back to the Jamaican vibe.

I do feel I have a responsibility to the youths. For real.

I've been approached by many different people, but I don't really want to be known as a collaboration dude.
