You can be a boy, a girl, whatever you want. I have a lot of man in me.

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

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

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 doesn't surprise me that people can't see beyond my image. It's amazing, but I can understand it. That's what image is for. But it's never a problem for me. It's only a problem for them. I don't really care. I do what I want regardless.

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

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