There will always be a replacement coming along very soon - a newer version, a crazier version, a louder version. So if you haven’t got a long-term plan, then you are merely a passing phase, the latest trend, yesterday’s event.

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 never thought I was going to be a singer. That was an accident.

Growing up in Jamaica, the Pentecostal church wasn't that fiery thing you might think. It was very British, very proper. Hymns. No dancing. Very quiet. Very fundamental.

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.

I’VE ALWAYS BEEN A REBEL. I NEVER DO THINGS THE WAY THEY’RE SUPPOSED TO BE DONE. EITHER I GO IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION OR I CREATE A NEW DIRECTION FOR MYSELF, REGARDLESS OF WHAT THE RULES ARE OR WHAT SOCIETY SAYS.

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

I only started getting into furs when the designers I liked started making them.

My dad's family were political and he was always a theatrical creature, whereas my mum is really musical and her father was the touring pianist with Nat King Cole. My family was an explosive mixture of politics, religion and music - no wonder I turned out how I did.

Now when I enter a carriage, it almost empties. But there's always one brave enough to stay.

I don't like people who hide things.

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

That's what they do in Argentina. Have a little wine and talk. Then have some coffee and talk. Then, go back to the wine.

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.

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

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