That's what they do in Argentina. Have a little wine and talk. Then have some coffee and talk. Then, go back to the wine.

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

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.

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.

I like to think of myself as a positive person. Otherwise I wouldn't have had a child.

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

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