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

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.

When I started modelling, I'd raise my arms and it was all muscle and all the other models had nothing. Really, everybody thought I was a man. I don't have to do much to have muscles. It's just genetic.

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 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.'

I think I'm doing a service to black women by portraying myself as a sex machine. I mean, what's wrong with being a sex machine, darling? Sex is large, sex is life, sex is as large as life, so it appeals to anyone that's living, or rather it should.
