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.

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.

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

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

Everyone has to make their own decisions. I still believe in that. You just have to be able to accept the consequences without complaining.

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.

I can look at a fur and tell if it's good or not.
