I am an actress first, a singer second.

Growing up in Jamaica, the Pentecostal church wasn't that fiery thing you might think. It was very British, very proper. Hymns. No dancing. Very quiet. Very fundamental.

I like to isolate myself when I work because I end up losing my voice by doing interviews all day.

I don't like people who hide things.

My husband used to shout at my mother, 'What is wrong with your daughter? I'm married to a man.'

To be honest, my life is not really as way-out and myth-loaded as people like to portray it.

I would have rebelled against parental authority, no matter what. When I was 15, I started painting my face and making my own clothes.
