More quotes by 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
When you become such a strong personality in music, it's hard for people to accept you as a different character.
Grace Jones
It was very painful combing my hair. My grand-uncle was a Pentecostal bishop, and he was very strict: our hair couldn't be permed or straightened. So I just cut it all off.
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!
Grace Jones
I don't collaborate. You're born alone, you die alone, you get on stage alone.
Grace Jones
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.
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
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.
Grace Jones
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
I don't think 'pop' should mean that you had no talent.
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 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 never thought I was going to be a singer. That was an accident.
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
I have just as much woman in me as I have man. It's just a matter of channeling the energy into which way you use it.
Grace Jones
My mother was a champion high-jumper. My three brothers are basketball players. We've all been very athletic.
Grace Jones
Forget health clinics and gyms. Sex is the best cure. One good night of sex and your problems are gone.
Grace Jones
You can't expect your children to be perfect.
Grace Jones
I am an actress first, a singer second.
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.
