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.

I like to think of myself as a positive person. Otherwise I wouldn't have had a child.
Grace Jones
Image
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

I believe in having certain releases, certain outlets. One has to indulge. If you don't indulge, you don't live -might as well be dead. I believe in indulging as a user and not as an abuser.

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 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.

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.

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

I came from a very strict background, and didn't hear any Jamaican music when I was growing up.

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

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.

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

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

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.
