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.
Music and fashion go hand in hand. I think music inspires all types of arts; it inspires life, emotion, mood, and all of those things are reflected in my fashion and my style. One doesn't go without the other.
Fashion has always been my defense mechanism.
I can compensate for all my weaknesses with my fashion.
The thrill in fashion for me is taking a risk and daring myself to make it work. Even when I go shopping, I always buy something twisted and I know I'm going to have to figure out somehow to pull it off and make it my own.
You shouldn't been pressured into trying to be thin by the fashion industry, because they only want models that are like human mannequins. But you have to remember that it's not practical or possible for an everyday woman to look like that. Beinz size zero is a career in itself so we shouldn't try and be like them. It's not realistic and it's not healthy.
When I am putting looks together, I dare myself to make something work. I always look for the most interesting silhouette or something that's a little off, but I have to figure it out. I have to make it me. I think that's the thrill in fashion.
When it comes to fashion, I like to see individuality.
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.
