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.

I like to think of myself as a positive person. Otherwise I wouldn't have had a child.

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
I like to isolate myself when I work because I end up losing my voice by doing interviews all day.
Grace Jones
Image
Rock n' roll can get quite overwhelming. You can get caught up in the cycle.
Grace Jones
Image
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.

Image
I only started getting into furs when the designers I liked started making them.
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
Image
That's what they do in Argentina. Have a little wine and talk. Then have some coffee and talk. Then, go back to the wine.
Grace Jones
Image
Everyone has to make their own decisions. I still believe in that. You just have to be able to accept the consequences without complaining.

I never thought I was going to be a singer. That was an accident.

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.
