More quotes by 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
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
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
All rock-and-rollers over the age of 50 look stupid and should retire
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 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.
Grace Slick
With all due respect to Mick Jagger, who is one of my idols, I think it's a mistake to leap around and sing at 53. When I started, there weren't any women I looked up to. It was Mick. I never saw anybody go on a stage and have that tongue-in-cheek attitude. It was all straight, including the Beatles. I love his attitude, hands on hips and lips out.
Grace Slick
The same person is coming through in a different medium.... My art is simple, direct and definite.
Grace Slick
If I were gay, life would be a lot simpler. I'm kind of annoyed that I'm not.
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
Anyone who's 71 years old would look ridiculous singing rock.
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 didn't want to write a book. They made me do it.
Grace Slick
I like being in a recording studio. I like watching a song go from the simplicity of the original music.
Grace Slick
Death is like taking an intermission when you can't come back. I like living and being around.
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
Rock roll is not obscure, it's really easy to understand. So is my painting.
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
'Feminist comedy,' practically an oxymoron, had a couple of good years after WWII. Chalk it up to the forced female autonomy that occurred during wartime, when Rosie the Riveter went to work in the factories, constructing the Allies' war machines while taking charge of the finances, the home, and the children.
Grace Slick
When you learn that a truth is a lie, anger follows.
