Αποφάσισα να ψάξω το σάιτ της. Λέγεται “The World of Grace Jones” και το συναρπαστικό στήσιμό του (εικόνες της ανακατεμένες με δηλώσεις της) με ενέπνευσε για το σημερινό ποστ…

I WAS THE ONLY BLACK GIRL AT MY JUNIOR-HIGH SCHOOL. I HAD SKINNY LEGS, AN AFRO, A JAMAICAN ACCENT AND A DEEP VOICE. I LOOKED REALLY OLD. I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO BE A SPANISH TEACHER UP UNTIL I WAS 16, THEN I TOOK THIS ACTING CLASS IN SCHOOL AND MY TEACHER WAS SUCH AN INCREDIBLE ARTIST THAT MY WHOLE DIRECTION CHANGED.
I'VE ALWAYS BEEN A REBEL. I NEVER DO THINGS THE WAY THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE DONE. EITHER I GO IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION OR I CREATE A NEW DIRECTION FOR MYSELF, REGARDLESS OF WHAT THE RULES ARE OR WHAT SOCIETY SAYS.
ACTUALLY THERE ARE CERTAIN PEOPLE I DEFINITELY DON'T WANT TO PLEASE. THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE I'M LIKE 'OH NO, PUH-LEEEZE DON'T LIKE ME!'
MEN ARE TERRIFIED OF ME. I CAN EASILY STEP INTO THE MANS SHOES -THAT'S WHAT SETS OFF THE TENSION. IT PUTS THE MAN IN A POSITION WHERE HE HAS TO BECOME THE FEMALE. BUT MY IMAGE IS SUPPOSED TO FRIGHTEN MEN, SO ONLY THE GOOD ONES COME THROUGH.
I HAVE A TERRIBLE TEMPER, TERRIBLE. WHEN I HEAR 'THIS IS THE RULE' OR 'THE COMPUTER SAYS..' I GET MAD. PEOPLE TRY TO STOP ME EVERY DAY.
PEOPLE HAVE OFTEN MISTAKEN ME FOR A MAN. BUT I AM ALL WOMAN TO ME! BUT WHAT’S A WOMAN SUPPOSED TO FEEL LIKE? I LIKE HARD THINGS. I LIKE SOFT THINGS. I GO FEMININE, I GO MASCULINE. I CHANGE ROLES IN LIFE. I AM BOTH. I WASN'T BORN THIS WAY. ONE CREATES ONESELF. I BELIEVE WHATEVER I DREAM. WHATEVER I DREAM I WANT TO DO.
I THINK MY ACT HAS A CERTAIN SCARINESS BECAUSE I WAS BROUGHT UP IN A SCARY WAY. BUT I CONFRONTED IT THERAPEUTICALLY. WHEN I PERFORM ON STAGE I BECOME ALL THOSE MALE BULLIES, THOSE DOMINATORS FROM MY CHILDHOOD.
WHEN I WAS GROWING UP I WASN'T ALLOWED TO HANG OUT WITH RASTAS. YOU HAD TO RUN AND HIDE IF YOU SAW THEM COMING. NOW THE RASTAS AREN’T ALLOWED TO HANG OUT WITH ME. OHAHAHAH!
EVERYTHING WE DID WAS CONTROLLED. I WASN'T ALLOWED TO LISTEN TO THE RADIO. I WASN’T ALLOWED TO WEAR FINGERNAIL POLISH. I WASN’T ALLOWED TO RECEIVE PRIVATE LETTERS. IN JAMAICA THE PENTECOSTAL CHURCH WAS VERY BRITISH, VERY PROPER. HYMNS. NO DANCING. VERY QUIET. VERY FUNDAMENTAL.
I THINK IT’S OUR NATURE TO BE MAN AND WOMAN ALL IN ONE. TO GIVE AND TO RECEIVE. I THINK THAT ALL MEN NEED TO BE PENETRATED AT LEAST ONCE IN THEIR LIFETIME, TO UNDERSTAND WHAT IT IS LIKE TO RECEIVE. IT’S MY OWN THEORY, WHICH I THINK COULD HELP TAKE SOME OF THE AGGRESSION OUT OF THE WORLD.
SURVIVAL IS MY PRIMARY INSTINCT. I'LL DO ANYTHING. IT'S OUT OF MY CONTROL. IT'S STRONGER THAN ME. IT'S AN OUTSIDE FORCE, A VOICE THAT SAYS 'DO THIS FOR YOUR LIFE OR IT WILL DEVOUR YOU'.
