My uncle is from Trinidad, so, ever since I was 7, I grew up listening to Soca, the genre that's from there. It's my favorite sound.
The Atlantic Slave Trade was greatest planned accumulation of wealth that the world has ever known.
Nothing was made in Trinidad.
The truth that we are required to face about the slave trade is that it was founded on violence and terror … not done to Americans but done by Americans to others.
I remember the reason why did I start my golf. We had a four day game I was playing for Trinidad against the Leeward Islands. They had in their ranks Winston Benjamin, Curtly Ambrose and Kenneth Benjamin. To add to it, the track was a green top. The four day game lasted two days, so I had two days to play golf.
My immediate family are from the West Indies - from Trinidad and Grenada - and I have relatives all over the Caribbean.
The main thing that I hate the most is ignorance, like the prejudice problems of America. I know it is worse in some other countries. But I wish I could borrow, like from Venezuela or Trinidad, the real love of color-blind people and bring it to America.
I moved away for three years and went to Trinidad where I met my wife, Athena.
I played a lot of the original 'Fight Night.' I think the depiction of Trinidad in the game was awesome.
We are still living with the ships of the Atlantic slave trade. They are ghost ships that influenced much of what we are today.
The older I get, the more aware I am of the banality and indifference of a place like Trinidad to any development of the arts.
Trinidad is a great fighter; he's exciting, and he goes in tough. His roster of opponents includes Pernell Whitaker, Oscar De La Hoya, David Reid, Fernando Vargas, and Hopkins. It's hard to imagine Felix being in a boring fight.
I am only one-eighth the writer I might have been had I contained all the fragmented languages of Trinidad.
A lot of what Trinidad is about is the feeling of the place, the atmosphere of the place, particularly at night, and the mystery of the forest.
I grew up on a sugar plantation in Trinidad, on an expat estate, and that meant I had no idea about money until a lot later than most children.
I love Trinidad and I love living there, but it's quite harsh.
We had thousands of people outside Queen's Park Oval in Trinidad. We would wait to get inside to watch a Test at six o'clock in the morning.
