I have just as much woman in me as I have man. It's just a matter of channeling the energy into which way you use it.

It's ridiculous for a woman to say that she's not attracted to other women. That's completely false.

Music has its own depths, and I let it take me where it takes me, even if it means stripping all my clothes off.

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

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.

In Jamaica we had the English way of schooling from the age of four, so when I got to America I was already a few years advanced because I started school at the age of three-and-a-half rather than six and my grades moved up accordingly. In America, they start you at school at six because the grades are different. I had to take a test and they didn't know what to do with me. It wasn't that I was any smarter; I had just started younger. All of a sudden I was jumped from eighth to tenth grade. They said I was very smart, but I was only smart in languages, really.

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.
