Growing up in Jamaica, the Pentecostal church wasn't that fiery thing you might think. It was very British, very proper. Hymns. No dancing. Very quiet. Very fundamental.

Image
I never thought I was going to be a singer. That was an accident.
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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

When you become such a strong personality in music, it's hard for people to accept you as a different character.

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

Image
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 don't collaborate. You're born alone, you die alone, you get on stage alone.

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.

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!

To be honest, my life is not really as way-out and myth-loaded as people like to portray it.
