I've always had a love for poetry and when I got signed to a record label I thought 'How odd that I'm doing a record before a book of poetry '

I didn't think it was fair to my music to label me as the daughter of somebody - I didn't think it described me very well and I didn't think it had anything to do with my music.

I don't like to be labeled to be anything. I've made the mistake before myself of labeling my music but it's counter-productive.

I get bored easily so I need to do a lot. I've started a record label so I get to nurture new talent and talk about music which is a passion of mine. I've written another book. And I get to come to work and do the TV show which is always really fun.

I never wanted to do the same kind of movies over and over anyway so my theory on it all is I'm just gonna try and dodge the label and keep doing what I am doing.

I'm fighting the label of 'Black' actress simply because it's very limiting in people's eyes especially people who are making movies.

I was labeled a troublemaker my mom an unfit mother and I was not welcome anywhere.

We all fight over what the label 'feminism' means but for me it's about empowerment. It's not about being more powerful than men - it's about having equal rights with protection support justice. It's about very basic things. It's not a badge like a fashion item.

Love is the word used to label the sexual excitement of the young the habituation of the middle-aged and the mutual dependence of the old.

I took the process of doing as much myself as I could like a duck to water. I set up my own label and publishing etc and it was a fun learning curve two decades ago.
