When you become such a strong personality in music, it's hard for people to accept you as a different character.
Grace Jones
Image
Most performers take themselves too seriously. They forget there is a difference between the characters they play on the screen or stage and themselves, but the public doesn't forget there is a difference. They see how silly it is if you try to be the same person all the time.

Some songs come from my head, some from my throat, but there will always be moments when it is an injection of the soul.
Grace Jones
Image
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.

When I started modelling, I'd raise my arms and it was all muscle and all the other models had nothing. Really, everybody thought I was a man. I don't have to do much to have muscles. It's just genetic.

I’VE ALWAYS BEEN A REBEL. I NEVER DO THINGS THE WAY THEY’RE SUPPOSED TO BE DONE. EITHER I GO IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION OR I CREATE A NEW DIRECTION FOR MYSELF, REGARDLESS OF WHAT THE RULES ARE OR WHAT SOCIETY SAYS.

My dad's family were political and he was always a theatrical creature, whereas my mum is really musical and her father was the touring pianist with Nat King Cole. My family was an explosive mixture of politics, religion and music - no wonder I turned out how I did.

My husband used to shout at my mother, 'What is wrong with your daughter? I'm married to a man.'

Rock n' roll can get quite overwhelming. You can get caught up in the cycle.

Women and men grow up with both sexes. Our mothers and fathers mean a lot to us, so it's just a question of finding a balance between their influences. I've found mine. And it tends to be more on the male side. I mean male side the way we understand it in the West.

I never thought I was going to be a singer. That was an accident.
Grace Jones
Image
I like to think of myself as a positive person. Otherwise I wouldn't have had a child.
Grace Jones
Image
I came from a very strict background, and didn't hear any Jamaican music when I was growing up.

Image
I like dressing like a guy. I love it. When I was modeling I used to do pictures where I would dress up like my little brother. No makeup and I looked like a boy.

Image
It was very painful combing my hair. My grand-uncle was a Pentecostal bishop, and he was very strict: our hair couldn't be permed or straightened. So I just cut it all off.

To be honest, my life is not really as way-out and myth-loaded as people like to portray it.

My mother was a champion high-jumper. My three brothers are basketball players. We've all been very athletic.

There will always be a replacement coming along very soon - a newer version, a crazier version, a louder version. So if you haven’t got a long-term plan, then you are merely a passing phase, the latest trend, yesterday’s event.
