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.

I believe in having certain releases, certain outlets. One has to indulge. If you don't indulge, you don't live -might as well be dead. I believe in indulging as a user and not as an abuser.

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.

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 hate prescription drugs! They don't tell you everything that is in them.

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.

Growing up in Jamaica, the Pentecostal church wasn't that fiery thing you might think. It was very British, very proper. Hymns. No dancing. Very quiet. Very fundamental.

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

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

To be honest, my life is not really as way-out and myth-loaded as people like to portray it.

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

We're not perfect we all have things that people might not like to see, and I like to show my faults.
