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.

More quotes by Grace Jones
Rock n' roll can get quite overwhelming. You can get caught up in the cycle.
Grace Jones
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.
Grace Jones
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
When you become such a strong personality in music, it's hard for people to accept you as a different character.
Grace Jones
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
I hate prescription drugs! They don't tell you everything that is in them.
Grace Jones
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
I was the only black girl at my junior high school. I had an afro, a Jamaican accent, I looked really old.
Grace Jones
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.
Grace Jones
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.
Grace Jones
Prescription drugs can be even worse than illegal drugs. The only difference is the legality.
Grace Jones
I’VE ALWAYS BEEN A REBEL. I NEVER DO THINGS THE WAY THEY’RE SUPPOSED TO BE DONE. EITHER I GO IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION OR I CREATE A NEW DIRECTION FOR MYSELF, REGARDLESS OF WHAT THE RULES ARE OR WHAT SOCIETY SAYS.
Grace Jones
I came from a very strict background, and didn't hear any Jamaican music when I was growing up.
Grace Jones
You can't expect your children to be perfect.
Grace Jones
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.
Grace Jones
Models are there to look like mannequins, not like real people. Art and illusion are supposed to be fantasy.
Grace Jones
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
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!
Grace Jones
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.
Grace Jones
I like to isolate myself when I work because I end up losing my voice by doing interviews all day.
