Quote

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.

Everyone has to make their own decisions. I still believe in that. You just have to be able to accept the consequences without complaining.

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 was the only black girl at my junior high school. I had an afro, a Jamaican accent, I looked really old.

This is depression, it comes when your blocking. This is expression it comes when you're rocking

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.

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.
Grace Jones
Image
I came from a very strict background, and didn't hear any Jamaican music when I was growing up.
