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.

More quotes by Grace Jones
Now when I enter a carriage, it almost empties. But there's always one brave enough to stay.
Grace Jones
This is depression, it comes when your blocking. This is expression it comes when you're rocking
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 was the only black girl at my junior high school. I had an afro, a Jamaican accent, I looked really old.
Grace Jones
There will always be a replacement coming along very soon - a newer version, a crazier version, a louder version. So if you haven’t got a long-term plan, then you are merely a passing phase, the latest trend, yesterday’s event.
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
When you become such a strong personality in music, it's hard for people to accept you as a different character.
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.
Grace Jones
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.
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
I never thought I was going to be a singer. That was an accident.
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've lived long enough to feel the sway of corporations both legal and illegal. Corporations give you drugs and they prescribe and prescribe them and they can be worse for you. Whereas you have illegal drugs and that is all about moderation. You have to know your body.
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
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
I like to think of myself as a positive person. Otherwise I wouldn't have had a child.
Grace Jones
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.
Grace Jones
We're not perfect we all have things that people might not like to see, and I like to show my faults.
Grace Jones
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.
Grace Jones
Whatever bling always has something to hide.
