Quote

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.

I am an actress first, a singer second.
Grace Jones
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.

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

I was skinny as a rail and had high cheekbones and a very interesting face - or so I was told.

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.

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.

Image
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.
Grace Jones
Image
My mother was a champion high-jumper. My three brothers are basketball players. We've all been very athletic.
Grace Jones
Image
I came from a very strict background, and didn't hear any Jamaican music when I was growing up.
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
Image
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
Image
I don't like people who hide things.

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

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