Some songs come from my head, some from my throat, but there will always be moments when it is an injection of the soul.

You can't expect your children to be perfect.

I was the only black girl at my junior high school. I had an afro, a Jamaican accent, I looked really old.

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.

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 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.

Models are there to look like mannequins, not like real people. Art and illusion are supposed to be fantasy.

Image
I like dressing like a guy. I love it. When I was modeling I used to do pictures where I would dress up like my little brother. No makeup and I looked like a boy.

Forget health clinics and gyms. Sex is the best cure. One good night of sex and your problems are gone.

My mother was a champion high-jumper. My three brothers are basketball players. We've all been very athletic.

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

Rock n' roll can get quite overwhelming. You can get caught up in the cycle.

Image
I go feminine, I go masculine. I am both, actually. I think the male side is a bit stronger in me, and I have to tone it down sometimes. I'm not like a normal woman, that's for sure.

I like to isolate myself when I work because I end up losing my voice by doing interviews all day.
