“Without Bobby, there is no Boney M.”

“People can forget your music but we are more surprised than happy to see that no one has forgotten our music.”

“I am the original voice of all the songs.”

“In a way, I don't feel I get the credit I deserve.”

“I am not well-acquainted with the names of Indian artists.”

“I am not the best person any more when I am away from my husband.”

“I've sung lead on nearly all the big Boney M hits.”

“I don't normally do shows around Christmas time.”

“Marcia could sing, but in the long run I ended up singing most of the stuff.”

“I met Frank Farian and he asked if I would work with him on this project. And four to five months later, we had our first hit, 'Daddy Cool.'”

“The place is really exceptional and I am fascinated and inspired, as Nagaland with its lush greenery and picturesque mountains as well as the peaceful atmosphere reminds me of my country Jamaica.”

“The journey of making money in music has changed a great deal and is now based on merchandising and just being very smart in the business. Downloading from iTunes has become the way to purchase music and the price that you pay there for a song cannot compare to the days when people paid money for records.”

“Some people play the lottery all their life and never win a penny. Others play once and hit the jackpot and that's how it felt with 'Mary's Boy Child.'”

“My love has always been the most important thing in my life.”

“I didn't realize I could sing until I served someone tea at a cafe my parents owned in north west London, where we had settled as a family, after moving from Jamaica when I was 11. I was harmonizing to a track on the jukebox and a man asked me how I managed to do it so well. He recommended me to a talent agent.”

“A lot of Indian musicians settled abroad are fusing Indian music with reggae which I find very impressive.”

“I really wanted to be a blues/jazz/gospel singer, but times had changed and disco was now the music - the new sound. I embraced it with all my heart and the rest is history.”

“Even in the Caribbean, we enjoy a good curry because that's what India brought to the Caribbean.”

“Every artist has to remember that they're human beings first, even with the type of stardom placed around their name and aura, they have to still remember that.”

“Boney M have a very powerful spirit that keeps us going.”
