...“All I’ve ever done is tell the truth,” says Jones, seated on a couch in his palatial Bel Air home, and about to dish some outrageous gossip. “I’ve got nothing to be scared of, man.”...
...You just mentioned the Clintons, who are friends of yours. Why is there still such visceral dislike of them? What are other people not seeing in Hillary, for example, that you see?
It’s because there’s a side of her — when you keep secrets, they backfire.
Like what secrets?
This is something else I shouldn’t be talking about.
You sure seem to know a lot.
I know too much, man...
...But what about the alleged behavior of a friend of yours like Bill Cosby? Is it hard to square what he’s been accused of with the person you know?
It was all of them. Brett Ratner. [Harvey] Weinstein...
What about Cosby, though?
What about it?
Were the allegations a surprise to you?
We can’t talk about this in public, man...
...Is there innovation happening in modern pop music?
Hell no. It’s just loops, beats, rhymes and hooks. What is there for me to learn from that? There ain’t no f***ing songs...
...What would account for the songs being less good than they used to be?

Well it’s obvious that Nastasia Kinski didn’t marry him for his brains or looks. It helps to have a Bel Air mansion.
And beyond that, delusional! He said on another site that he had dated Ivanka Trump, and how much he disliked her father who he referred to as his "pal".
Although they had a daughter together, they were never married.
Jones was married to that MOD Squad chick too. Quincy Jones nailed classier dames than Hefner could ever hope to. The #Metoo thing has a double meaning with these “liberated” women.
He makes that claim in this interview.
He also claims that Matlon Brando had sex with Richard Pryor.
Old people say the craziest things.
There was a time when decent people would be shamed and scandalized to have an elderly grandpa speaking in this manner.
