I've turned down millions of dollars to go on reality TV. It's an absolute no-go.

I never do what anyone else is doing. I could walk away from music and become a farmer or do some crochet. The worst thing in life for me is to do something I'm not happy doing.

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 believe in individuality, that everybody is special, and it's up to them to find that quality and let it live.

When you become such a strong personality in music, it's hard for people to accept you as a different character.

We're not perfect; we all have things that people might not like to see, and I like to show my faults.

I didn't think I had a voice at all, and I still think of myself as an interpreter of songs more than a singer. I thought it was too deep; people thought I was a man. I had a very strong Jamaican accent, too; the accent really messed me up for auditions.
