Grace Jones on Writing

“God I’m scary. I’m scaring myself.”

“Models are there to look like mannequins, not like real people. Art and illusion are supposed to be fantasy.”

“When I started modelling, I’d raise my arms and it was all muscle and all the other models had nothing. Really, everybody thought I was a man. I don’t have to do much to have muscles. It’s just genetic.”

“I also think that men need to be penetrated.”

“Now when I enter a carriage, it almost empties. But there’s always one brave enough to stay.”

“I’VE LOOKED THE DEVIL IN THE FACE, AND GOD, AND SOMEHOW I’VE FOUND A BALANCE. BUT BEING EXTREME IS AT THE SAME TIME A BALANCE – ONE EXTREME BALANCES THE OTHER”

“As a model one is forced to spend a lot of time in front of the mirror and I just started to freak out, like I was going on the other side of the mirror. So I moved every mirror out of my house when I stopped modeling.”

“A legend is someone who has died.”

On Lady Gaga being a copycat: “I really don’t think of her at all. I go about my business.”

“I get bored. I provoke things to happen without even realizing it. I just follow my instincts. I don’t think about it, really.”

“Without daaaancing, it’s a business meeting.”

“Use, don’t abuse.”

On gibberish: “It’s not a made-up language. It relates to everyone… Only the people who are in it.”

“If you take it just for partying, that’s when it goes pear-shaped.”
