There will always be a replacement coming along very soon - a newer version, a crazier version, a louder version. So if you haven’t got a long-term plan, then you are merely a passing phase, the latest trend, yesterday’s event.

Some songs come from my head, some from my throat, but there will always be moments when it is an injection of the soul.

Disco was like the celebration of music through dance and my God! When you heard the music sometimes it was like, if you don't get up and dance, you aren't human!

I was skinny as a rail and had high cheekbones and a very interesting face - or so I was told.

I was the only black girl at my junior high school. I had an afro, a Jamaican accent, I looked really old.

When I started modelling, I'd raise my arms and it was all muscle and all the other models had nothing. Really, everybody thought I was a man. I don't have to do much to have muscles. It's just genetic.

I don't collaborate. You're born alone, you die alone, you get on stage alone.
