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.

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
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
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
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

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
I said I'd be honest, I never said I'd be consistant.
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
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
Jerry Garcia and the Grateful Dead did as much for mankind as any president.
Grace Slick
All rock-and-rollers over the age of 50 look stupid and should retire
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
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
The same person is coming through in a different medium.... My art is simple, direct and definite.
Grace Slick
I like Daughtry, I like Nickelback, I like Dave Matthews. I like Beyonce - she's a really good entertainer.
