I Never Thought I Was

I Like To Think Of Myself As A Positive Person. Otherwise I Wouldn't Have Had A Child.

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 Loved All Those Classic Figures From The '30s And '40s... Bette Davis, Joan Crawford, Humphrey Bogart, Rita Hayworth. They Had Such Glamour And Style. I Loved The Movies Of Those Times Too - So Much Attention Paid To Details, Lights, Clothing, The Way The Studios Would Develop Talent.

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 Just Go With The Flow, I Follow The Yellow Brick Road. I Don't Know Where It's Going To Lead Me, But I Follow It.
