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.

I just go with the flow, I follow the yellow brick road. I don't know where it's going to lead me, but I follow it.

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

You can't expect your children to be perfect.

Image
To be honest, my life is not really as way-out and myth-loaded as people like to portray it.
Grace Jones
Image
We're not perfect we all have things that people might not like to see, and I like to show my faults.

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 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.

Disco existed before we were all born and will exist afterwards. It is a ritual - it is a celebration - and it is the same kind of music that we call disco or rock'n'roll or a whole list of names that we can call it. Call it what you will, nothing will change the fact that certain kinds of music will make you want to celebrate or party.

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.

Everyone has to make their own decisions. I still believe in that. You just have to be able to accept the consequences without complaining.

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.

My mother was a champion high-jumper. My three brothers are basketball players. We've all been very athletic.

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.

Whatever bling always has something to hide.

I don't like people who hide things.

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