But, at 71, the Jamaican singer and model does not want a small cameo and a few lines. She refused to appear in the movie. Speaking about lines\u2026 Grace Jones spoke to\u00a0<em>Num\u00e9ro<\/em> a few years ago about being a 1980s androgyne icon. Take a look back at the shock interview of the unshakable diva.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Num\u00e9ro: Why did you change your name from Mendoza to Jones?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Grace Jones:<\/strong> My name was always Jones. False rumors spread on the Net so fast that it becomes impossible to tell the difference between fact and fiction.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Many people have described Andy Warhol as Machiavellian and manipulative. Is that your memory of him as well?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He was completely the contrary, likable and open, and always very generous, at least with me. We spent our time in galleries and bars, and when he cloistered himself away in the Factory, he made sure there were always people around him. We were always insatiably curious and spent hours, openmouthed and wide-eyed, marveling at everything around us: \u201c<em>Look at this, look at that, Andy, it<\/em><em>\u2019<\/em><em>s too great!<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"rtecenter\"><span class=\"fs-add-1\"><span class=\"fs-add-2\"><strong>I spent some funny times with Yves, it&#8217;s true.

Doing cocaine was a lot more festive and social then. We snorted it like others drank coffee. And it was never hidden. The proof: at Studio 54, a huge coke spoon was hung above the dancefloor. Today, things are a lot less convivial\u2014 people disappear into the bathroom every five minutes.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do you think the media lynching meted out to Amy Winehouse and other divas is merited?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The more we stigmatize illicit substances, the easier it is for giant pharmaceutical companies to sell tranquilizers and mood enhancers. They\u2019re playing their cards right. Many of my friends have overdosed on prescription drugs.

Happily, someone released laughing gas to calm the crowd, which gave me time to make it to the dressing room. Yves, who was waiting for me, covered my chest with the belt of his tuxedo, and tied Loulou de la Falaise\u2019s scarf around my waist. And then he threw me back onto the stage, shouting, \u201c<em>Come on, get out there!<\/em>\u201d You can imagine what it was like.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do you get high during your performances?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Once, but it was a flop.

What a story! Briefly: I was traveling in first class, when this poor girl decided to move me, halfway through the trip. Who knows why. I asked to leave the train\u2014no one forced me, contrary to what you may have heard. Eurostar took advantage of the incident to spill ink at my expense. It was the million-euro ad. It almost makes you think it was all done on purpose.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Have you ever felt like a prisoner of your image?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Absolutely not. That would be like feeling trapped in a house you built yourself. I have constructed my image from many sources, I\u2019ve taken pleasure in doing so and am very pleased with the result, thank you.

Given some reactions I\u2019ve encountered, the thought has occasionally crossed my mind. But being a generally indulgent person, I tend to think that someone is having a bad day, or hasn\u2019t gotten laid in a while, rather than attributing their animosity to racism.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why do you always mess around with these tanks with masculine names like Dolph,\u00a0<\/strong><strong>Sven-Ole\u00a0<\/strong><strong>and Atila?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Mess around?
