Out of all the places in the world, Jamaica is my favorite place.

I think I have had so many amazing moments in my life.

What surprised me most about fame is how unpleasant it can be. I used to think it was going to be so fun. I got excited about the parties. You don't anticipate friends being jealous of you and critics giving your music bad reviews. Media and rumors - that stuff hurts.

I'd rather make all my secrets public than have an image based on gossip. I'd rather put it out there myself and control it.

I'd rather experiment than follow the same formula. I'm a curious person. It's gotten me into trouble, but I say, 'Why not? Let's try it.'
