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

I'm not a rock star, I'm a soft person.
Grace Jones
Image
We're not perfect we all have things that people might not like to see, and I like to show my faults.
Grace Jones

I always thought that feminine, softer side was just too vulnerable to put out there, because then it's like you're opening up a door for everybody to come in, and you don't know who's going to come in that door.

Image
I believe in having certain releases, certain outlets. One has to indulge. If you don't indulge, you don't live -might as well be dead. I believe in indulging as a user and not as an abuser.

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
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.

Prescription drugs can be even worse than illegal drugs. The only difference is the legality.
Grace Jones
Image
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.

When I was modelling, I spent half my life staring at thousands of perfect reflections. It got to a stage where I was losing all sense of reality - so after I quit modelling, I took all the mirrors out of my house.

Models are there to look like mannequins, not like real people. Art and illusion are supposed to be fantasy.
Grace Jones
Image
I like to think of myself as a positive person. Otherwise I wouldn't have had a child.

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