Now when I enter a carriage, it almost empties. But there's always one brave enough to stay.

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

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.

It's ridiculous for a woman to say that she's not attracted to other women. That's completely false.

Models are there to look like mannequins, not like real people. Art and illusion are supposed to be fantasy.

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.

Crying is not a weakness. It's something that should be able to work for you. It should also be a strength. I think if you can cry when you feel like crying it's a strength. If you feel like crying and you can't cry, that's a weakness. That means you're holding all that stuff inside.
