Rita Marley

“We might find someone one day to do what he was doing musically, but there is only one Bob. His spirit has spread across the world.”

“One of the nicest things to do in Kingston on a Sunday is eat johnnycake, Festival and fish at Hellshire Beach.”

“To me, Bob was more than a superstar but it's good people get an idea of the real man.”

“Bob's whole life is about Africa. It is not about Jamaica.”

“People come from all over the world to sample Jamaican jerk.”

“The idea of being a widow brings the thought of your husband dying. I don't really feel that way. I have higher confidence in life after that transition. That's my thought. That's how I feel. I want to keep him alive.”

“Bob's music is therapy and entertainment.”

“My husband believed 'the herb' was a natural and positive part of life, and he felt it was important to the world.”

“I'm touring right now and you'd be surprised to see all of the kids that come to the concerts just to see Rita Marley because it's Bob Marley's wife. I might do three or four of Bob's songs in my repertoire and they go crazy.”

“The unique thing about Bob Marley, he writes what relates to everybody.”

“We'll be forever loving Jah, no matter what the crisis is.”

“He saved me from being somebody else. I could have been prime minister, I could have been a prostitute on the streets, but I am what I am and Bob has a lot to do with that.”

“Bob Marley's in every new day. There's not one day that his music is not played all over the world.”

“Bob was chosen by my record company to help with my vocals, and our relationship developed through the music.”

“We came from nothing, from the raw poverty of Trenchtown.”

“They say the good you do lives after you. Bob is one of those who proves that.”

“Prince Harry embodies the spirit of Bob Marley. The Prince was engaging, he was warm. He had real spirit. He was a charming young man. He's a militant. I see that military side to him. But as we would call him, or Bob would say, he seemed to be a rebel too.”

“You listen to 'One Love,' you have to rock your head. You have to do something. It moves you. You cannot refuse it.”

“We give so much to others that sometimes we tend to forget our own feelings.”

“I felt like I was seeing my life over again when I first arrived in Ghana. I thought, 'This is part of me.' I knew what it was like to be poor and hungry.”
