I hate prescription drugs! They don't tell you everything that is in them.
Grace Jones
Image
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 only started getting into furs when the designers I liked started making them.

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’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.

I don't think 'pop' should mean that you had no talent.
Grace Jones
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.
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 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 came from a very strict background, and didn't hear any Jamaican music when I was growing up.

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

I don't like people who hide things.

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