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'm not a rock star, I'm a soft person.
Grace Jones
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
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
My husband used to shout at my mother, 'What is wrong with your daughter? I'm married to a man.'
Grace Jones
Image
Now when I enter a carriage, it almost empties. But there's always one brave enough to stay.
Grace Jones
Image
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 hate prescription drugs! They don't tell you everything that is in them.
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
Some songs come from my head, some from my throat, but there will always be moments when it is an injection of the soul.

Image
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.
Grace Jones
Image
I don't collaborate. You're born alone, you die alone, you get on stage alone.
Grace Jones
Image
Prescription drugs can be even worse than illegal drugs. The only difference is the legality.
Grace Jones
Image
Models are there to look like mannequins, not like real people. Art and illusion are supposed to be fantasy.
Grace Jones
Image
I like to isolate myself when I work because I end up losing my voice by doing interviews all day.
Grace Jones
Image
I like to think of myself as a positive person. Otherwise I wouldn't have had a child.
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
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 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.

Rock n' roll can get quite overwhelming. You can get caught up in the cycle.

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.
