I Wear My Furs All The Time.

I've Turned Down Millions Of Dollars To Go On Reality Tv. It's An Absolute No-go.

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.

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.

I Was The Only Black Girl At My Junior High School. I Had An Afro, A Jamaican Accent, I Looked Really Old.

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.
