There're lots of musicians in my family, too. My mother sings incredibly well. I've got to make a record with my mother's voice on it. She sings a lyric soprano. We do the opposite. I'm a baritone. She's a star singer in her church. She always does her solo.

I think I'm doing a service to black women by portraying myself as a sex machine. I mean, what's wrong with being a sex machine, darling? Sex is large, sex is life, sex is as large as life, so it appeals to anyone that's living, or rather it should.

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.
Grace Jones
Image
I only started getting into furs when the designers I liked started making them.
Grace Jones
Image
I don't like people who hide things.
Grace Jones
Image
I go feminine, I go masculine. I am both, actually. I think the male side is a bit stronger in me, and I have to tone it down sometimes. I'm not like a normal woman, that's for sure.
Grace Jones
Image
I came from a very strict background, and didn't hear any Jamaican music when I was growing up.
Grace Jones
Image
I don't think 'pop' should mean that you had no talent.
Grace Jones
Image
When you become such a strong personality in music, it's hard for people to accept you as a different character.

Image
Forget health clinics and gyms. Sex is the best cure. One good night of sex and your problems are gone.
