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

I always thought that feminine, softer side was just too vulnerable to put out there, because then it's like you're opening up a door for everybody to come in, and you don't know who's going to come in that door.

I don't know what I'm going to be doing in two years or even in two weeks. I have to live for today.

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

When I perform on stage I become those male bullies, those dominators from my childhood. That's probably why it's so scary, because they scared me.

I like dressing like a guy. I love it. When I was modeling I used to do pictures where I would dress up like my little brother. No makeup and I looked like a boy.
