Quote

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.

When you become such a strong personality in music, it's hard for people to accept you as a different character.
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.
Grace Jones
Image
Now when I enter a carriage, it almost empties. But there's always one brave enough to stay.

Image
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 hate prescription drugs! They don't tell you everything that is in them.

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

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.

Prescription drugs can be even worse than illegal drugs. The only difference is the legality.

Whatever bling always has something to hide.

Image
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.

Image
Rock n' roll can get quite overwhelming. You can get caught up in the cycle.
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
You can't expect your children to be perfect.
Grace Jones
Image
I don't collaborate. You're born alone, you die alone, you get on stage alone.
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.
Grace Jones
Image
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.
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 came from a very strict background, and didn't hear any Jamaican music when I was growing up.
Grace Jones
Image
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.

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.
