It was very painful combing my hair. My grand-uncle was a Pentecostal bishop, and he was very strict: our hair couldn't be permed or straightened. So I just cut it all off.

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

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

Women and men grow up with both sexes. Our mothers and fathers mean a lot to us, so it's just a question of finding a balance between their influences. I've found mine. And it tends to be more on the male side. I mean male side the way we understand it in the West.

Grace Jones
Whatever bling always has something to hide.
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
We're not perfect we all have things that people might not like to see, and I like to show my faults.
Grace Jones
Disco existed before we were all born and will exist afterwards. It is a ritual - it is a celebration - and it is the same kind of music that we call disco or rock'n'roll or a whole list of names that we can call it. Call it what you will, nothing will change the fact that certain kinds of music will make you want to celebrate or party.
Grace Jones
My mother was a champion high-jumper. My three brothers are basketball players. We've all been very athletic.
Grace Jones
I never thought I was going to be a singer. That was an accident.
Grace Jones
I am an actress first, a singer second.
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 was skinny as a rail and had high cheekbones and a very interesting face - or so I was told.
