Models are there to look like mannequins, not like real people. Art and illusion are supposed to be fantasy.

Whatever bling always has something to hide.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

I only started getting into furs when the designers I liked started making them.
Grace Jones
Image
I'm not a rock star, I'm a soft person.
Grace Jones
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 don't think 'pop' should mean that you had no talent.
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
I was skinny as a rail and had high cheekbones and a very interesting face - or so I was told.

Forget health clinics and gyms. Sex is the best cure. One good night of sex and your problems are gone.
Grace Jones
Image
Some songs come from my head, some from my throat, but there will always be moments when it is an injection of the soul.

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.
