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

Image
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
Image
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
Image
All rock-and-rollers over the age of 50 look stupid and should retire
Grace Slick
Image
Through literacy you can begin to see the universe. Through music you can reach anybody. Between the two there is you, unstoppable.

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.

Image
Rock roll is not obscure, it's really easy to understand. So is my painting.

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.

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
Image
You can't make people change, but the organizers of WorldFest hope that people consider being vegetarian for both moral and health reasons
Grace Slick
Image
Death is like taking an intermission when you can't come back. I like living and being around.
Grace Slick
Image
Jerry Garcia and the Grateful Dead did as much for mankind as any president.
Grace Slick
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
When you get older, it's not about what you did that you regret, it's what you didn't do.
Grace Slick
Image
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
Image
When you learn that a truth is a lie, anger follows.

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.
