“I don’t collaborate. You’re born alone, you die alone, you get on stage alone.”

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.

My husband used to shout at my mother, ‘What is wrong with your daughter? I’m married to a man.’

I’m not a rock star, I’m a soft person.

When you become such a strong personality in music, it’s hard for people to accept you as a different character.

I just go with the flow, I follow the yellow brick road. I don’t know where it’s going to lead me, but I follow it.

I wear my furs all the time. I wear like three different ones in a day.

I’ve lived long enough to feel the sway of corporations both legal and illegal. Corporations give you drugs and they prescribe and prescribe them and they can be worse for you. Whereas you have illegal drugs and that is all about moderation. You have to know your body.

When I was modelling, I spent half my life staring at thousands of perfect reflections. It got to a stage where I was losing all sense of reality – so after I quit modelling, I took all the mirrors out of my house.

Prescription drugs can be even worse than illegal drugs. The only difference is the legality.

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

Music has its own depths, and I let it take me where it takes me, even if it means stripping all my clothes off.

I can look at a fur and tell if it’s good or not.

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

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

I love women, but I’ve never had a relationship with a woman.

I believe in individuality, that everybody is special, and it’s up to them to find that quality and let it live.

I feel the 21st century is another new age. Not only can we collaborate again with nature, but we have to. It’s an emergency.

I don’t know who I will collaborate with, but there’s a great chance of something happening.

People who share that commitment can collaborate across cultural divides.

I would collaborate with James Franco as a rapper any day.

I want to be a collaborative thing and be part of the audience and have them be part of me.
