More quotes by Grace Jones
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
I never thought I was going to be a singer. That was an accident.
Grace Jones
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.

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.

Rock n' roll can get quite overwhelming. You can get caught up in the cycle.
Grace Jones
This is depression, it comes when your blocking. This is expression it comes when you're rocking

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

I like dressing like a guy. I love it. When I was modeling I used to do pictures where I would dress up like my little brother. No makeup and I looked like a boy.
Grace Jones
I only started getting into furs when the designers I liked started making them.
Grace Jones
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.
Grace Jones
I like to think of myself as a positive person. Otherwise I wouldn't have had a child.
Grace Jones
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
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.
Grace Jones
I don't like people who hide things.
Grace Jones
Now when I enter a carriage, it almost empties. But there's always one brave enough to stay.
Grace Jones
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
My husband used to shout at my mother, 'What is wrong with your daughter? I'm married to a man.'
