Alcohol is the devil and I need Chinese food.
If I'm wearing a top, I don't wear a bra. If I'm wearing a bra, I just wear a bra.
Young people, we have this thing about us, this invincibility, because we're young and we're growing up and we want to have fun, and we want to be crazy, and nothing's wrong with that unless you're not being responsible.
They're gonna keep knocking away until all this comes crashing down. But I'm not gonna ever crash. I'm in control.
I think honesty is the ultimate liberation in life. People want to shy away from the truth and keep sweeping it under the rug. But after a while, you pick up the rug and there's just way too much dirt, so you might as well just be up front about it.
I try my best to avoid the sharks of life, but I have had my share of experiences with them, and in those cases I just have to handle them accordingly. But I do not swim with sharks ... sharks swim with sharks.
If you want to do something for Jah, then dont associate with people who do nothing
Attention is something I've learned to ignore. This is what I do: I live my life and they document it.
Fashion for me is another way I get to express myself creatively. It is one of the fun things I get to do: to play dress-up, and create outfits and looks that aren't typical. I am an artist, so I like creating things. Shoes are my favorite thing.
The way I dress depends on how I feel. I never have to psych myself up. Usually it just feels like it works.
Lipstick can glam up a whole look, especially in red.
In the first two years of my career, there were a lot of restraints on what I could do. I couldn't wear certain colors of lipstick, like bright pink, dark pink or red; [my lips] had to be natural. Eventually, I stopped communicating with certain people at the label, and did exactly what I wanted to do. And that was to cut my hair, dye it black, change my clothes, change my sound. Really to just express myself.
I just really wanted to be myself. I wanted to be sassy, the attitude, all these things that I am.
I have friends from rock stars to Rastas; I don't even know what an unexpected friend is.
