Most performers take themselves too seriously. They forget there is a difference between the characters they play on the screen or stage and themselves, but the public doesn't forget there is a difference. They see how silly it is if you try to be the same person all the time.

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.

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.

Image
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 just go with the flow, I follow the yellow brick road. I don't know where it's going to lead me, but I follow it.

To be honest, my life is not really as way-out and myth-loaded as people like to portray it.

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

Disco was like the celebration of music through dance and my God! When you heard the music sometimes it was like, if you don't get up and dance, you aren't human!
