I like to isolate myself when I work because I end up losing my voice by doing interviews all day.
Grace Jones
Image
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
Image
I don't like people who hide things.

Image
I never thought I was going to be a singer. That was an accident.

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.

When I started modelling, I'd raise my arms and it was all muscle and all the other models had nothing. Really, everybody thought I was a man. I don't have to do much to have muscles. It's just genetic.

Image
I go feminine, I go masculine. I am both, actually. I think the male side is a bit stronger in me, and I have to tone it down sometimes. I'm not like a normal woman, that's for sure.

When you become such a strong personality in music, it's hard for people to accept you as a different character.

Image
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.

When I was modelling, I spent half my life staring at thousands of perfect reflections. It got to a stage where I was losing all sense of reality - so after I quit modelling, I took all the mirrors out of my house.

I hate prescription drugs! They don't tell you everything that is in them.
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.
Grace Jones
Image
I was the only black girl at my junior high school. I had an afro, a Jamaican accent, I looked really old.
Grace Jones
Image
I was skinny as a rail and had high cheekbones and a very interesting face - or so I was told.
Grace Jones
Image
Everyone has to make their own decisions. I still believe in that. You just have to be able to accept the consequences without complaining.
Grace Jones
Image
I don't collaborate. You're born alone, you die alone, you get on stage alone.

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