Growing up, I was brought up around Irish music, Irish traditions.

I've said a lot of stuff in the past, but not with any intentions to hurt anybody. It's all a bit tongue-in-cheek.

Although I think of myself as the greatest heavyweight, I do respect the legends of the past for what they did. But they are not my heroes.

I aim for the stars, and winning a world title will not be a fulfilment of a dream for me. It never has been.

I did go on safari in Kenya when I was 17, with my mother, stepfather and little brother, and I kept a careful journal of the experience that was very helpful in terms of my sensory impressions of Africa. I have traveled quite a bit at distinct times in my life, though now that I have kids I've settled down.

Marley Coffee is dedicated to my father's dream to return to the farmlands, to offer our family treasures to the world.

There's nothing that symbolizes loss or grief more than a mother losing a child.

My life had become a catastrophe. I had no idea how to turn it around. My band had broken up. I had almost lost my family. My whole life had devolved into a disaster. I believe that the police officer who stopped me at three a.m. that morning saved my life.
