More quotes by Janis Joplin
Don't compromise your self, you're all you got.
Janis Joplin
I would trade all my tomorrow's for one single yesterday.
Janis Joplin
I love being a star more than life itself.
Janis Joplin
If someone comes along, gonna give you some love and affection, I say get it while you can.
Janis Joplin
Like most girls I'm always really self-conscious about do I look fat, if my legs are short, if I'm weird shaped, but when I go on stage, man, it never occurs to me. I think I look beautiful.
Janis Joplin
I'm tired of all these hippie jack-offs
Janis Joplin
You can destroy your now by worrying about tomorrow.
Janis Joplin
When everything is together - the band, me, the audience, it's boss! It's just like magic.
Janis Joplin
To be true to myself, to be the person that was on the inside of me, and not play games. That's what I'm trying to do mostly in the whole world, is not bullshit myself and not bullshit anybody else.
Janis Joplin
Don't go looking for Mr. Right. Look for Mr. Right Now.
Janis Joplin

Janis Joplin
You are what you settle for. You are only as much as you settle for.
Janis Joplin
I don't know what happened. I just exploded. I'd never sung like that before. I used to stand still and sing simple, but you can't sing like that in front of a rock band. You have to sing loud and move wild with all that in back of you. Now, I don't know how to perform any other way.
Janis Joplin
Why should I hold back now and sound mediocre, just so I can sound mediocre twenty years from now?
Janis Joplin
It's hard to be free but when it works, it's worth it!
Janis Joplin
You know you've got it, if it makes you feel good.
Janis Joplin
As good as you've been to this world is as good as it's gonna be right back to you.
Janis Joplin
Life is too damn short and [screwed] up to go through it silently loving someone and never telling them how you feel. [Screw] the consequences, [screw] the implications of the actions, to hell with it all... whatever happens as a result is better than the nothingness that is inevitable with silence.
Janis Joplin
At least we know we tend to be afraid. If you object to my plural noun, I'll retract it.
Janis Joplin
Guess what, I might be the first hippie pinup girl.
Janis Joplin
