I Am An Actress First,

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.

I Think I'm Doing A Service To Black Women By Portraying Myself As A Sex Machine. I Mean, What's Wrong With Being A Sex Machine, Darling? Sex Is Large, Sex Is Life, Sex Is As Large As Life, So It Appeals To Anyone That's Living, Or Rather It Should.

You Can't Expect Your Children To Be Perfect.

I Have Just As Much Woman In Me As I Have Man. It's Just A Matter Of Channeling The Energy Into Which Way You Use It.

In Jamaica We Had The English Way Of Schooling From The Age Of Four, So When I Got To America I Was Already A Few Years Advanced Because I Started School At The Age Of Three-and-a-half Rather Than Six And My Grades Moved Up Accordingly. In America, They Start You At School At Six Because The Grades Are Different. I Had To Take A Test And They Didn't Know What To Do With Me. It Wasn't That I Was Any Smarter; I Had Just Started Younger. All Of A Sudden I Was Jumped From Eighth To Tenth Grade. They Said I Was Very Smart, But I Was Only Smart In Languages, Really.
