I wanted to be a 'jungle mom', where you're giving birth and getting up and doing things straightaway.

They used to call me Firefly when I was a little girl, and I always tried to figure out why I was being called a firefly. I was really black, black, black from the sun. After being in Jamaica for 13 years, my eyes were really beady and white, and my skin was really black. I must have really looked like a fly. My eyes looked like lights, like stars.

I don't wear jewelry, so I wear furs. I don't have diamonds.
