Whatever; bling always has something to hide.
GRACE JONESWhatever; bling always has something to hide.
GRACE JONESMusic has its own depths, and I let it take me where it takes me, even if it means stripping all my clothes off.
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 always thought that feminine, softer side was just too vulnerable to put out there, because then it’s like you’re opening up a door for everybody to come in, and you don’t know who’s going to come in that door.
GRACE JONESPrescription drugs can be even worse than illegal drugs. The only difference is the legality.
GRACE JONESTo be honest, my life is not really as way-out and myth-loaded as people like to portray it.
GRACE JONESWomen 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 JONESWe’re not perfect; we all have things that people might not like to see, and I like to show my faults.
GRACE JONESNow when I enter a carriage, it almost empties. But there’s always one brave enough to stay.
GRACE JONESYou can be a boy, a girl, whatever you want. I have a lot of man in me.
GRACE JONESIt 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.
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’m not as impatient as I used to be. I used to hit people if I didn’t like what they were saying. Just lash out. ‘Bam – shut up! Hahahah!’ I was terrible.
GRACE JONESI wear my furs all the time. I wear like three different ones in a day.
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 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.
