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

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.

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.
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
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.

I'm not a rock star, I'm a soft person.

I was the only black girl at my junior high school. I had an afro, a Jamaican accent, I looked really old.

Prescription drugs can be even worse than illegal drugs. The only difference is the legality.
Grace Jones
I hate prescription drugs! They don't tell you everything that is in them.
Grace Jones
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.
Grace Jones
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
I don't like people who hide things.
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.
Grace Jones
I never thought I was going to be a singer. That was an accident.
