Quote

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.

I like to isolate myself when I work because I end up losing my voice by doing interviews all day.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

I'm not a rock star, I'm a soft person.

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

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

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

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

Forget health clinics and gyms. Sex is the best cure. One good night of sex and your problems are gone.

This is depression, it comes when your blocking. This is expression it comes when you're rocking
