I don’t invest in the stock market. I did it a long, long time ago when I was really young, and I got involved in all the investigations and all the prosecutions, and I felt it was better if I didn’t make individual investments. So I’m invested in funds, but not in individual – not in individual stocks.
I’m not going to please everyone; not everyone’s going to like me. I accepted that a long time ago, and if I had to shed a tear every time I got a hate email, believe me, I’d be severely dehydrated.

I told my grandma a long time ago that I was going to take my mom and dad out the hood.
A long time ago, I thought, as a writer in the Caribbean, ‘I don’t ever want to have to write ‘It was great in Paris.” Because I don’t think, proportionately speaking, that one’s experience in a city as opposed to, say, a village in St. Lucia, is superior to the other.
For years the league has thought I’ve been on drugs. I would have burned out a long time ago if that was true.

I always make this joke that I know you were expecting to see the big skirts and the hoops. But that was a long time ago. Artists aren’t always seen as real people. If you start out as a teenager, sometimes people want to keep you locked as that. But I’m a woman now.

If I read or listened to critics of our music, I’d have been discouraged a long time ago.
I have a strong accent; it limits the roles, of course it does. I guess if I had moved to America a long time ago maybe my accent would have got less.
If I hadn’t had the rugby field to get rid of my aggression I would have been locked up a long time ago.
It’s always been the same from a long time ago, it’s people with promises and people dangling carrots and when you’re young and impressionable, and ambitious, you want to believe them. I was always lucky because there was always part of me that didn’t believe these people.

I learned a long time ago that reality was much weirder than anyone’s imagination.

I used to only worry about the #1’s and all of the awards. But that was a long time ago.
I learned a long time ago to be honest when I’m talking to other artists. Up-and-coming artists used to come and say something, they would have a demo reel, and I would try to tell them the truth. I don’t go up and say something unless I really feel it.
I realized a very long time ago, that I was never going to be the guy who, ‘Oh, you look so big, let’s push him in the main event and see,’ or, ‘Oh, this guy’s got the best physique ever, let’s put him in the main event and see.’ It was always going to be the hard way.
A long, long time ago, I was in front of the ‘Mona Lisa’ and I heard someone saying, ‘Ugh! Take your photo and go!’ And it bummed me out. Shouldn’t there be more of a reverent experience?

I have been on only one reality show, which was a dance show, a long time ago.
The first song that I had that went platinum was ‘Keep Your Head Up,’ which was a long time ago. Then, you get ‘one-hit wonder’ with that.
I’m not a big fan of the WWE coming over into our sport and everyone making a show of themselves. It’s not that, it doesn’t bother me, its good for some guys, but that’s just me, its not my personality, I told myself a long time ago I’m not gonna sell myself out, I’m not gonna sell my soul to be something I’m not.
I’m going to be looking forward, asked to be judged on my record, not taken back as has been the – in a sense, the tendency throughout politics in Northern Ireland, is to always look back, always look at what was said a long time ago, instead of looking forward.
There is something in Shanghai that is very exciting and alive – the idea of a city with two different souls, one from today and another from a long time ago, is amazing.
If it wasn’t for Mick, the group would’ve fallen apart a long time ago.

A long time ago, you couldn’t say what you mean in blues. You had to disguise it, and that’s where the double entendres and humour comes from and that’s where we come from.

In the case of the cashew, someone, somewhere, a long time ago determined that it had to be roasted. The cashew was once nicknamed the blister nut, because if you try to eat it raw from the tree, your mouth pays the price. The cashew is not a nut, however; it’s a seed.
I still have nightmares of dead comrades, a long time ago, talking to me. ‘Emmanuel, don’t forget about us, don’t give up, keep telling our story.’
I gave up my struggle with perfection a long time ago. That is a concept I don’t find very interesting anymore. Everyone just wants to look good in the photographs. I think that is where some of the pressure comes from. Be happy. Be yourself, the day is about a lot more.
