I like working until the morning, so I can see the day and then I like to go to sleep and then get up before sunset. But I love the energy of the morning.
GRACE JONESI like working until the morning, so I can see the day and then I like to go to sleep and then get up before sunset. But I love the energy of the morning.
GRACE JONESIt 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 JONESIn the Seventies and Eighties we all had our fun, and now and then we went really too far. But, ultimately, it required a certain amount of clear thinking, a lot of hard work and good make-up to be accepted as a freak.
GRACE JONESIt’s ridiculous for a woman to say that she’s not attracted to other women. That’s completely false.
GRACE JONESI like to isolate myself when I work because I end up losing my voice by doing interviews all day.
GRACE JONESI don’t take the English press seriously at all because all they want is dirt. I hate them.
GRACE JONESI’ve turned down millions of dollars to go on reality TV. It’s an absolute no-go.
GRACE JONESWhatever one is creating, one has to stick to one’s guns and just do it. That is all. Put your foot down and do not let your work be compromised.
GRACE JONESThere 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 JONESI wear my furs all the time. I wear like three different ones in a day.
GRACE JONESI 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.
GRACE JONESI 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 JONESI 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 JONESI’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 JONESI 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 JONESI don’t know what I’m going to be doing in two years or even in two weeks. I have to live for today.
