When you have your own place, you set your own rules.

The thing about places like Trinidad and Jamaica is that they can be very musically insular. There isn't much space for kids making hip-hop, electronic music, or hybrid genres.

There's this Afghani kid in Stockholm called Phat Deuce who's started sending us his music, and he's amazing.

You have to support people who want to do weird, different, fun stuff. Otherwise, it'll get very homogenous.

I've found joy, peace and perspective. Those are very good things to have.

For a great many years, as a soldier, I had a suspicion that war was a racket; not until I retired to civil life did I fully realize it.

There are no subtleties in a war zone. I think that's why comedy does so well there. It goes right for the gut. So those punch lines start penetrating the bullet-proof vests.

Only the man who disciplines himself strictly can stand for long the terrific pace of modern war.
