More quotes by 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
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
Anyone who's 71 years old would look ridiculous singing rock.
Grace Slick
In Germany I ingested the entire contents of the hotel mini-bar before a show and stuck my fingers in this guy's nostrils because I thought they would fit.
Grace Slick
Through literacy you can begin to see the universe. Through music you can reach anybody. Between the two there is you, unstoppable.
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'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
When you learn that a truth is a lie, anger follows.
Grace Slick
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.
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
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 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 like being in a recording studio. I like watching a song go from the simplicity of the original music.
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 am not strict vegan, because I'm a hedonist pig. If I see a big chocolate cake that is made with eggs, I'll have it.
Grace Slick
I said I'd be honest, I never said I'd be consistant.
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
If you don't own the stage, you shouldn't be in rock n' roll.
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
I stopped dropping acid for a while after my daughter was born. It's hard to keep an eye on the kid while you're hallucinating.
