I just go with the flow, I follow the yellow brick road. I don't know where it's going to lead me, but I follow it.

More quotes by Grace Jones
Growing up in Jamaica, the Pentecostal church wasn't that fiery thing you might think. It was very British, very proper. Hymns. No dancing. Very quiet. Very fundamental.
Grace Jones
I came from a very strict background, and didn't hear any Jamaican music when I was growing up.
Grace Jones
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.
Grace Jones
It doesn't surprise me that people can't see beyond my image. It's amazing, but I can understand it. That's what image is for. But it's never a problem for me. It's only a problem for them. I don't really care. I do what I want regardless.
Grace Jones
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
I was skinny as a rail and had high cheekbones and a very interesting face - or so I was told.
Grace Jones
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.
Grace Jones
Disco was like the celebration of music through dance and my God! When you heard the music sometimes it was like, if you don't get up and dance, you aren't human!
Grace Jones
Whatever bling always has something to hide.
Grace Jones
I was the only black girl at my junior high school. I had an afro, a Jamaican accent, I looked really old.
Grace Jones
I am an actress first, a singer second.
Grace Jones
I only started getting into furs when the designers I liked started making them.
Grace Jones
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.
Grace Jones
I don't think 'pop' should mean that you had no talent.
Grace Jones
I don't like people who hide things.
Grace Jones
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.
Grace Jones
I like to isolate myself when I work because I end up losing my voice by doing interviews all day.
Grace Jones
To be honest, my life is not really as way-out and myth-loaded as people like to portray it.
Grace Jones
Models are there to look like mannequins, not like real people. Art and illusion are supposed to be fantasy.
Grace Jones
I'm not a rock star, I'm a soft person.
