I don't ever want to have to depend on a relationship. I think it's a really special thing to find love. It's beautiful. Nothing can match it. But I want to make sure that I find other things in life that I love besides . . . love.
You just want something else that someone else has, but that doesn't mean what you have isn't beautiful, because people always want what you have, and you always want what they have - no one is ever 100 per cent like, 'Yes, I'm the bomb dot com - from head to toe!'
Anything that feels familiar and comfortable [is home]. It's wherever I feel safe and safest. Most of the time, that's just Barbados. It's warm, it's beautiful, it's the beach, it's my family, it's the food, it's the music. Everything feels familiar, feels right and feels safe. So, Barbados is home for me.
While in America beautiful is skinny, in Barbados it's thick - girls with huge butts and nice curves.
find light in the beautiful sea. I choose to be happy.
People - especially white people - they want me to be a role model just because of the life I lead. The things I say in my songs, they expect it of me.
I love music, and after my first experience with movies, I can't wait to do more.
I have such incredible experiences in my life.
I want to give people a taste of the Caribbean, and show them the fun side of me.
My mother would kill me if I posed nude! My mother raised me with certain standards.
I am never satisfied; I always want more. I always want to get better. I always want to climb another step.
I feel like pop stars can't be rock stars anymore because they have to be role models, and it takes the fun out of it for us, because we just want to have fun with art.
HIV/AIDS has been a big epidemic for my generation, it's been around for as long as I've been alive.
There's not any religion or any culture or any race or any generation that cannot get AIDS or HIV. We all have to take responsibility for ourselves and get tested to know our status, and spread the word.
