I came from a very strict background, and didn't hear any Jamaican music when I was growing up.

There're lots of musicians in my family, too. My mother sings incredibly well. I've got to make a record with my mother's voice on it. She sings a lyric soprano. We do the opposite. I'm a baritone. She's a star singer in her church. She always does her solo.

I thought I'd take style to its limit... My philosophy is a belief in magic, good luck , self-confidence, and pride.

I love women, but I've never had a relationship with a woman.

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 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.

You can't expect your children to be perfect.
