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.

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.

I like being in a recording studio. I like watching a song go from the simplicity of the original music.

Image
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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Woodstock is well known because this country is so hyped on amount. It was big. Half a million people doesn't necessarily mean something is good. It just means it's big.

'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.

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

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.

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

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.

I don t wanna see old people on a rock & roll stage.

Death is like taking an intermission when you can't come back. I like living and being around.

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

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 said I'd be honest, I never said I'd be consistant.

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.

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.
