Grace Jones on Gender, Sexuality and Identity- from a 1985 interview on an Australian current affairs program called "Day by Day".
Miss Jones never stood any nonsense and refused to be defined, especially by sexist and narrow minded tv hosts.
“It’s not being masculine, it’s an attitude really. Being masculine, what is that?
I mean can you tell me? What is being masculine?
I just act the way I feel.
[...]
That doesn’t make me anything.
I think it’s ridiculous trying to categorize people’s feelings.
[...]
It’s just do what you feel, when you feel like it, if you feel like it.”
