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 JONESI 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.
GRACE JONESI wear my furs all the time. I wear like three different ones in a day.
GRACE JONESWhatever; bling always has something to hide.
GRACE JONESTo be honest, my life is not really as way-out and myth-loaded as people like to portray it.
GRACE JONESI don’t think ‘pop’ should mean that you had no talent.
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 came from a very strict background, and didn’t hear any Jamaican music when I was growing up.
GRACE JONESMy father would have been made a bishop much earlier than he was had it not been for me and my image.
GRACE JONESEveryone has to make their own decisions. I still believe in that. You just have to be able to accept the consequences without complaining.
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 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 JONESEven if I sing like a robot, it is still an emotional robot.
