Grace Jones

I don't like people who hide things. We're not perfect, we all have things that people might not like to see, and I like to show my faults.

My husband used to shout at my mother, 'What is wrong with your daughter? I'm married to a man.'

Music has its own depths, and I let it take me where it takes me, even if it means stripping all my clothes off.

When the militias came to Wau, they would blast out 'Thriller' as they moved down the dirt streets.

I hate the bad rap that people give my parents. Because they are just parents, really, at the end of the day trying to stand up for their daughter and themselves.

They said I couldn't play anything but an English boy. I knew I could. So I went to New York.
