I don't like people who hide things.

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
I don't collaborate. You're born alone, you die alone, you get on stage alone.
Grace Jones
Image
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.

Image
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
Image
To be honest, my life is not really as way-out and myth-loaded as people like to portray it.
Grace Jones
Image
We're not perfect we all have things that people might not like to see, and I like to show my faults.

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.

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 don't think 'pop' should mean that you had no talent.
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
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 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 only started getting into furs when the designers I liked started making them.
Grace Jones
Image
Prescription drugs can be even worse than illegal drugs. The only difference is the legality.
Grace Jones
Image
Some songs come from my head, some from my throat, but there will always be moments when it is an injection of the soul.
Grace Jones
Image
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
I just go with the flow, I follow the yellow brick road. I don't know where it's going to lead me, but I follow it.
Grace Jones
Image
There will always be a replacement coming along very soon - a newer version, a crazier version, a louder version. So if you haven’t got a long-term plan, then you are merely a passing phase, the latest trend, yesterday’s event.

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