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.

More quotes by Grace Slick
Woodstock is well known because this country is so hyped on amount. It was big. Half a million people doesn't necessarily mean something is good. It just means it's big.
Grace Slick
Things change so fast, you can't use 1971 ethics on someone born in 1971.
Grace Slick
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
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
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.
Grace Slick
If I were gay, life would be a lot simpler. I'm kind of annoyed that I'm not.
Grace Slick
You can't make people change, but the organizers of WorldFest hope that people consider being vegetarian for both moral and health reasons
Grace Slick
I like being in a recording studio. I like watching a song go from the simplicity of the original music.
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
I don't imagine my parents are too excited about my kind of life. The surrounding weirdness bothers them. Still, I think they're pretty good. Their lives are based on what their friends think, just like ours are.
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
I'm a commercial artist, both in music and art.
Grace Slick
Rock roll is not obscure, it's really easy to understand. So is my painting.
Grace Slick
I'm not very good at multi-tasking. Most people aren't, but they think they are. The mind is really better when you're really focused on one thing.
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
Prancing around on stage is not the entire purpose of my life.
Grace Slick
I'm very fond of drugs.

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
In school, I learned about artists and how they were free to express themselves. I was allergic to conformity, and the lifestyle attracted me. I wanted to express myself in a way that slammed people up against the wall.
Grace Slick
It's really a drag to sit around when you're old, and think, 'Ah, gee, I never went to France.' Go to France. Life is very short you've got to pack it all in there.
Grace Slick
