I've had more misrepresentations than I can handle, and people have told the wickedest lies about me. A lot of them have taken their frustrations out on me, and I don't like that because it can wound. Not necessarily me, but those around me. Journalists can be so bad.

I'm too vain, one of my biggest sins, but it saved me; I can see what excess does.

I came from a very strict background, and didn't hear any Jamaican music when I was growing up.

I think it's somewhere in my head, in my travel space, and it just comes out. It's a visual thing that happens unintentionally. People will tell me, "You do realize you just spoke with that accent, right?" And I'll go, "Oh, did I?" So it's not something I think about. As we talk, I have a visual about my speech and it just comes out like that. If that makes any sense!

I have just as much woman in me as I have man. It's just a matter of channeling the energy into which way you use it.

Everyone has to make their own decisions. I still believe in that. You just have to be able to accept the consequences without complaining.

I'm still shocked every time I see snow. The first bit of snow each year... I stay up and I watch it. And then I go out and pick it up and eat it and move around in it.
