My mother was a champion high-jumper. My three brothers are basketball players. We've all been very athletic.

Grace Jones
I came from a very strict background, and didn't hear any Jamaican music when I was growing up.

I never do what anyone else is doing. I could walk away from music and become a farmer or do some crochet. The worst thing in life for me is to do something I'm not happy doing.

Grace Jones
If people think I'm angry, I don't want to burst anybody's bubble. I like sometimes for people to be afraid of me. But it's not really anger; it's discipline.
Grace Jones
I 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 Jones
I don't like people who hide things.
Grace Jones
I'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.
