Women and men grow up with both sexes. Our mothers and fathers mean a lot to us, so it's just a question of finding a balance between their influences. I've found mine. And it tends to be more on the male side. I mean male side the way we understand it in the West.

Image
I don't like people who hide things.
Grace Jones
Image
I thought I'd take style to its limit... My philosophy is a belief in magic, good luck , self-confidence, and pride.
Grace Jones
Image
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 am an actress first, a singer second.
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 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.

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
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
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.

Image
Now when I enter a carriage, it almost empties. But there's always one brave enough to stay.

Image
I came from a very strict background, and didn't hear any Jamaican music when I was growing up.
Grace Jones
Image
I was the only black girl at my junior high school. I had an afro, a Jamaican accent, I looked really old.

Prescription drugs can be even worse than illegal drugs. The only difference is the legality.
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'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
Image
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.

Image
When you become such a strong personality in music, it's hard for people to accept you as a different character.
Grace Jones
Image
You can't expect your children to be perfect.

I hate prescription drugs! They don't tell you everything that is in them.
