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.

When you get older, it's not about what you did that you regret, it's what you didn't do.

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.

Things change so fast, you can't use 1971 ethics on someone born in 1971.
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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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'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.

It's really a drag to sit around when you're old, and think, 'Ah, gee, I never went to France.' Go to France. Life is very short you've got to pack it all in there.

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.

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

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.

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

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