More From Grace Jones

I was born with the wrong sign in the wrong house with the wrong ascendancy i took the wrong road that led to the wrong tendencies i was in the wrong place at the wrong time for the wrong reason and the wrong rhyme on the wrong day of the wrong week used the wrong method with the wrong technique wrong wrong.

White people scare the crap out of me. i have never been attacked by a black person, never been evicted by a black person, never had my security deposit ripped off by a black landlord, never had a black landlord, never been pulled over by a black cop, never been sold a lemon by a black car salesman, never seen a black car salesman, never had a black person deny me a bank loan, never had a black person bury my movie, and i've never heard a black person say, 'we're going to eliminate ten thousand jobs here - have a nice day!'

I felt like it was a courageous show [black-ish] from the beginning. we are a black family - we're not a family that happens to be black. but the show is not even about us being black. the show is about us being a family. that is groundbreaking - on tv, the black characters either happen to be black or they're the "black character," where everything they say is about being black. i think that's the genius.

It’s wrong to hate. it always has been wrong and it always will be wrong! it’s wrong in america, it’s wrong in germany, it’s wrong in russia, it’s wrong in china! it was wrong in two thousand b.c., and it’s wrong in nineteen fifty-four a.d.! it always has been wrong, and it always will be wrong!

I think empowerment of women is exactly what's happening now, with women being portrayed as human beings, and not just black and white. men can be the anti-hero all the time, and it's cool, but when women are, they're twisted or messed up or something is wrong with them. i think it's just about portraying women in the world as equals to men, and vice versa.

I was able to be distant by portraying another person, another character, if you will, and i found myself not stuttering and not having anxiety attacks when i was portraying another soul, another being, and i found comfort in that. i think many actors do, playing someone other than themselves.

Every character sees the world through a framework of education and experience that they're proud experts about. to write a character, find out what they know best, and then you'll know how they'll describe a "hot day." or a "pretty girl."

When i look at my body of work, i've played a lot of characters who are morally conflicted - 'i'm right, no i'm wrong, i don't know what to do!' i want to play more characters who don't care as much, and who aren't as measured. they are what they are, no apologies.

They [the travelers] know everything about the year that they're coming into. but you can know everything and still be tripped up by the little stuff that you didn't notice. and one character's facebook page is made up of lies. it's an interesting comment on what's been going on the last few months. we cannot rely anymore on facebook or twitter or instagram. people are making up their own truths.

For better or for worse, our company (the news corporation ltd.) is a reflection of my thinking, my character, my values.
