Chris Blackwell Quotations

Universal is the biggest, most powerful record company by far and a very good company, but they don't sell outside the record stores.

I never liked the whole thing about pictures with the artists. You look back at an Elvis Presley record, and you don't see any producer credits, because the audience is not supposed to know about the producer credit.

Nobody was interested in playing Bob Marley on the radio. We had to tour him - that was the only way it could work.

I was touring a lot... I loved the touring because you could really feel the audience. You were much closer to everything.

I want people to enjoy the simplicity in the natural.

Jamaica has the best coffee, the best sugar, the best ginger and some of the best cocoa in the world.

Running a farm is about solving a problem, and that's always interesting to me. But it's a constant process.

We didn't take care of our opportunities. When we needed to take care of the basketball, we didn't.

Maybe at some point, I could see a time when sidewalks are in, but right now they're not.

I think Jamaica would thrive if we promote agriculture as a way to bring people here.

We got back within 10 , then we had two guys miss assignments. From 10, they went back up by 16. That really took the air out of the bubble.

We were well within the game in the first half. The execution was just not there.

I'm intent on marketing Jamaica. Jamaica has the best coffee, the best sugar, the best ginger and some of the best cocoa in the world.

I'm trying to drag them into finding the market for this project. I love world music.

The DVDs are not cut to be stimulating visually. They're cut actually more to be soporific, in a sense. If you go on a hike and you get to a great view, you sit down and look at the view. There's nobody editing it.

The developer is going slowly, but it is still forging ahead.
