Quote

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.

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

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.

I'm very fond of drugs.

When you learn that a truth is a lie, anger follows.

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.

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.

Anyone who's 71 years old would look ridiculous singing rock.

The same person is coming through in a different medium.... My art is simple, direct and definite.

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.

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.

If you don't own the stage, you shouldn't be in rock n' roll.
Grace Slick
Image
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.

Prancing around on stage is not the entire purpose of my life.

All rock-and-rollers over the age of 50 look stupid and should retire

Through literacy you can begin to see the universe. Through music you can reach anybody. Between the two there is you, unstoppable.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
