I Don't Like People Who

I Didn't Think I Had A Voice At All, And I Still Think Of Myself As An Interpreter Of Songs More Than A Singer. I Thought It Was Too Deep; People Thought I Was A Man. I Had A Very Strong Jamaican Accent, Too; The Accent Really Messed Me Up For Auditions.

I Like Dressing Like A Guy. I Love It. When I Was Modeling I Used To Do Pictures Where I Would Dress Up Like My Little Brother. No Makeup And I Looked Like A Boy.

I Think It's Somewhere In My Head, In My Travel Space, And It Just Comes Out. It's A Visual Thing That Happens Unintentionally. People Will Tell Me, "you Do Realize You Just Spoke With That Accent, Right?" And I'll Go, "oh, Did I?" So It's Not Something I Think About. As We Talk, I Have A Visual About My Speech And It Just Comes Out Like That. If That Makes Any Sense!

I See Myself As No Color. I Can Play The Role Of A Man. I Can Paint My Face White If I Want To And Play The Role Of White. I Can Play A Green, I Can Be A Purple. I Think I Have That Kind Of Frame And That Kind Of Attitude Where I Can Play An Animal. If You Think In Color, Then Everyone Around You Is Going To Think In Color And That Puts Limits On The Way You Think. I Don't Think Like That. A Lot Of The Roles That I'm Doing Are Roles That A Man Or A Person Of Any Color Can Do.

Survival Is My Primary Instinct...it's Out Of My Control. It's Stronger Than Me. It's An Outside Force, A Voice That Says 'do This For Your Life Or It Will Devour You.'
