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

It was very painful combing my hair. My grand-uncle was a Pentecostal bishop, and he was very strict: our hair couldn't be permed or straightened. So I just cut it all off.

We're not perfect; we all have things that people might not like to see, and I like to show my faults.

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

I like to think of myself as a positive person. Otherwise I wouldn't have had a child.

I like working until the morning, so I can see the day and then I like to go to sleep and then get up before sunset. But I love the energy of the morning.

I was skinny as a rail and had high cheekbones and a very interesting face - or so I was told.
