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.

We're not perfect; we all have things that people might not like to see, and I like to show my faults.

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

This is depression, it comes when your blocking. This is expression it comes when you're rocking

Whatever one is creating, one has to stick to one's guns and just do it. That is all. Put your foot down and do not let your work be compromised.

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

If people think I'm angry, I don't want to burst anybody's bubble. I like sometimes for people to be afraid of me. But it's not really anger; it's discipline.

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

Survival is my primary instinct...it's out of my control. It's stronger than me. It's an outside force, a voice that says 'do this for your life or it will devour you.'

What we call coincidences, accidental and remarkable events occurring at the same time, are actually circumstances and events that have come into your life to serve a purpose is to benefit you.

Science may have found a cure for most evils: but it has found no remedy for the worst of them all - the apathy of human beings.

Power naturally and necessarily follows property.

By becoming self-aware, you gain ownership of reality; in becoming real, you become the master of both inner and outer life.

Every sailor knows that you can't sail a ship that isn't moving forward, strong leaders understand that to change direction, you first have to create forward progress.

Having a human conversation is not something I've had any training in either as a comedian or as, you know, a human being.

While not all men are sexist, all women face the impact of sexism in some way, so the point is there's a massive problem to be solved, and you can be a big part of the solution.

Gradually I became aware that professing English because I loved poems was like practicing vivisection because I loved dogs.

Even by rock star standards, I was pretty awful.

It's hard to be perfect, It really is. I keep learning things after I've already bungled it.
