You can't expect your children to be perfect.
Grace Jones
Image
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
Image
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
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.

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 thought I'd take style to its limit... My philosophy is a belief in magic, good luck , self-confidence, and pride.

When you become such a strong personality in music, it's hard for people to accept you as a different character.
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 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
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
Image
We're not perfect we all have things that people might not like to see, and I like to show my faults.

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.

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.

Some songs come from my head, some from my throat, but there will always be moments when it is an injection of the soul.

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.

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.

I like to isolate myself when I work because I end up losing my voice by doing interviews all day.

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

I didn't think I had a voice at all, and I still think of myself as an interpreter of songs more than a singer. I thought it was too deep people thought I was a man. I had a very strong Jamaican accent, too the accent really messed me up for auditions.

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