More quotes by Grace Slick
I don't want to see old people doing rap or rock and roll. It makes me cringe.
Grace Slick

Grace Slick
The same person is coming through in a different medium.... My art is simple, direct and definite.
Grace Slick
I'm very fond of drugs.

'Feminist comedy,' practically an oxymoron, had a couple of good years after WWII.

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 do what I love to do, what I choose to do.
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
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.
Grace Slick
All rock-and-rollers over the age of 50 look stupid and should retire
Grace Slick
Rock roll is not obscure, it's really easy to understand. So is my painting.
Grace Slick
Jerry Garcia and the Grateful Dead did as much for mankind as any president.
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
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
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 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
When you learn that a truth is a lie, anger follows.
Grace Slick
When you get older, it's not about what you did that you regret, it's what you didn't do.
