More quotes by Grace Slick
I don't like to be told what to do at all. That's unfortunate because a lot of people come up with good ideas and can direct you.
Grace Slick
If you don't own the stage, you shouldn't be in rock n' roll.
Grace Slick
If I were gay, life would be a lot simpler. I'm kind of annoyed that I'm not.
Grace Slick
I'm a commercial artist, both in music and art.
Grace Slick
Anyone who's 71 years old would look ridiculous singing rock.
Grace Slick
Jerry Garcia used to take his paints on the road. I don't do that. Either I'm a singer or a painter. I'm not good at multi-tasking.
Grace Slick
I like Daughtry, I like Nickelback, I like Dave Matthews. I like Beyonce - she's a really good entertainer.
Grace Slick
My solo albums were each like a half-finished puzzle they represented only the beginning of a full picture. Simply put, they were inadequate and incomplete.
Grace Slick
Prancing around on stage is not the entire purpose of my life.
Grace Slick
There is an attitude that we should be able to have everything. No, you shouldn't be able to have anything. I'd like a helicopter, but I can't afford a helicopter, so I don't buy one. People are buying stuff they can't afford on credit. I bought my Ford hybrid with cash.
Grace Slick
It takes a little work to be a vegan, but now it's really possible to have tasty stuff and it's better for you. I say the best test is go as far as you can and see how you feel. Personally, I feel great.
Grace Slick
The way I paint is similar to rock in that you don't stand around and say, 'Gee, what are they talking about?' Rock is simple, blunt, colorful. Same with my paintings. You don't stand back and wonder what it is. That's Jim Morrison, that's a panda, that's a scene on the West Coast. It's not abstract.
Grace Slick
I'm very fond of drugs.
Grace Slick
People say Altamont was the end of the 60s. It was unfortunate, but at the time we didnt think of it as signaling anything. The fact that nobody got killed at Woodstock is amazing because that was half a million people. We only had 300,000 at Altamont.
Grace Slick
Being in a rock n' roll band was like being in a Sherman tank. Nothing got to you. You were surrounded and protected by men.
Grace Slick
You start out performing because it's fun, then you learn more things and you want to do more than go Na-na-na-na on a stage. The production end is interesting, writing is interesting, and you learn to coordinate all these things.
Grace Slick
I was appalled that the San Francisco ethic didn't mushroom and envelope the whole world into this loving community of acid freaks. I was very naive.
Grace Slick
I left rock and roll professionally at about 49. That's too long as far as I'm concerned. Some people can do it it depends on what you were.
Grace Slick
I'm 5 feet 7 but my legs weren't long enough to be a big-time model. From the knees up, everything is long but from ankle to knee, if I was in proportion, I'd be 5 feet 9.
Grace Slick
My parents were very open about what kind of talent I had. They never pushed me to become an accountant because they knew that would be just absolutely ridiculous. So they were encouraging in what I am able to do with some success.
