I thought I'd take style to its limit... My philosophy is a belief in magic, good luck , self-confidence, and pride.
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.

My husband used to shout at my mother, 'What is wrong with your daughter? I'm married to a man.'
Grace Jones

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

Image
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'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.

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.

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.

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

Rock n' roll can get quite overwhelming. You can get caught up in the cycle.
Grace Jones

Some songs come from my head, some from my throat, but there will always be moments when it is an injection of the soul.

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

Models are there to look like mannequins, not like real people. Art and illusion are supposed to be fantasy.

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.

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