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.

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.

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.

Loss either teaches you to persist in the face of suffering, or hardens you into a bitter cynic. Sometimes, it does a little of both.
Grace Slick
Image
Through literacy you can begin to see the universe. Through music you can reach anybody. Between the two there is you, unstoppable.

I'm very fond of drugs.
Grace Slick

You can do any number of things in the music business aside from trying to look like you're 25. To me it's embarrassing.

Things change so fast, you can't use 1971 ethics on someone born in 1971.

Jerry Garcia and the Grateful Dead did as much for mankind as any president.

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.

Man is the only animal that knows he's going to die, so we invent a heaven to keep from going crazy. Most people are hypnotized by organized religion from childhood.

I do what I love to do, what I choose to do.

I like being in a recording studio. I like watching a song go from the simplicity of the original music.
