Grace Jones Zitate

Mum was a high-jumper and qualified to go to the Olympics, but it got into the newspapers that she was married to my father, and the church put pressure on her to pull out of the Olympic team, saying, 'You can't be exposing all your legs.' That's how strong the influence of the church was on us all.

Mum war eine Hochspringerin und für die Olympischen Spiele qualifiziert, aber es stand in den Zeitungen, dass sie mit meinem Vater verheiratet war. Die Kirche setzte sie unter Druck, sich aus der Olympiamannschaft zurückzuziehen und sagte: „Das geht nicht stellen Sie alle Ihre Beine aus. ' So stark war der Einfluss der Kirche auf uns alle.

Novelists get to say plenty in their massive tomes; rock singers only get four-minute songs with two verses and a chorus' worth of lyrics, and so there's a real pleasure in accessing the intelligence behind the music, even if it doesn't qualify as 'great literature.'

You've got to learn the footwork, the positioning, how to box out, how to pass, how to shoot your free throws. All these things are necessary, not to be the No. 1 player in the world, but maybe you can play against him.

If you're out there stressing on your pro day, then you're not going to perform well, so I plan on having a little fun. Play a little music while we're out there throwing the football, have everybody tapping their toes and bobbing their head and just go out there and make the most of the experience.
