“That's all I could ever hope for, to have a positive effect on women. 'Cos women are powerful, powerful beings. But they're also the most doubtful beings. They'll never know - we'll never know - how powerful we are.”
“I want to give people a taste of the Caribbean, and show them the fun side of me.”
“If you're performing music that is not who you are or where you're at, it is painful. It's painful for the performer and for the audience.”
“When it comes to everybody else's thing and their lane and their timing, I'm never doing anything intentional to, like, come after somebody. That will always be my biggest mistake or anybody's biggest mistake if that's their intention.”
“I drink a lot of coconut water. It balances out all the other toxic stuff I put into my body.”
“I'm really looking forward to seeing what life brings to me.”
“I love music, and after my first experience with movies, I can't wait to do more.”
“When I cut my hair, the whole sound changed, my style changed.”
“I can't make a song for a particular person or demographic. If I love it, I'm gonna do it. I have to perform it for the rest of my life. A song is like a tattoo - you can never get away from it.”
“I have a lot of other stuff to accomplish before I get to kids. Whenever the time is right, I'll just know. If I had a girl, she'd probably be really rebellious. She would be like a bundle of karma. I would love to bring them up in Barbados.”
“I have too many clothes, I have too many options.”
“I love making music. That's what I love to do. So I don't feel like there's any need to take a break unless I want to.”

“When I see myself as an old woman, I just think about being happy. And hopefully, I'll still be fly.”
“I just love working with Eminem. He's just one of my favorite rappers, and his lyrics - he's a true poet, and I enjoy that about him.”
“I'm turned on by guys who are cultured. That'll keep me intrigued. They don't have to have a single degree, but they should speak other languages or know things about other parts of the world or history or certain artists or musicians. I like to be taught. I like to sit on that side of the table.”
“I am happy and I'm single.”
“I am a child but I have to think and act like a woman, this business forces you to.”
“I do have a vulnerable side. I think a lot of people have a misperception of me. They only see the tough, defensive, aggressive side. But every woman is vulnerable.”
“I think I'm like most people - we fear the unknown and the things that have yet to come to pass, which are the very things that don't deserve to be feared. When you give God complete control, it's very hard not to be fearless.”
