GRACE JONESWhatever; bling always has something to hide.
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 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.

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 JONESDisco was like the celebration of music through dance and my God! When you heard the music sometimes it was like, if you don’t get up and dance, you aren’t human!
GRACE JONESI’m not a rock star, I’m a soft person.
GRACE JONESMy mother was a champion high-jumper. My three brothers are basketball players. We’ve all been very athletic.
GRACE JONESI only started getting into furs when the designers I liked started making them.
GRACE JONESEven if I sing like a robot, it is still an emotional robot.
