You Can Be A Boy, A Girl,

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.

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 Never Thought I Was Going To Be A Singer. That Was An Accident.

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.

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.
