More quotes by Janis Joplin
Don't go looking for Mr. Right. Look for Mr. Right Now.
Janis Joplin
I'm tired of all these hippie jack-offs
Janis Joplin
Hippies believe the world could be a better place. Beatniks believe things aren’t going to get better and say the hell with it, stay stoned and have a good time.
Janis Joplin
It's hard to be free but when it works, it's worth it!
Janis Joplin
Don't compromise your self, you're all you got.
Janis Joplin
What we've had to do is learn to control success, put it in perspective, and not lose the essence of what we're doing - the music.
Janis Joplin
You can destroy your now by worrying about tomorrow.
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
I talk to the audience, look into their eyes. I need them and they need me.
Janis Joplin
If someone comes along, gonna give you some love and affection, I say get it while you can.
Janis Joplin
I always wanted to be an artist, whatever that was, like other chicks want to be stewardesses. I read. I painted. I thought.
Janis Joplin
You are what you settle for. You are only as much as you settle for.
Janis Joplin
I would trade all my tomorrow's for one single yesterday.
Janis Joplin
You can feel all things at once, so why not wear all things at once?
Janis Joplin
Gimme a pigfoot and a bottle of beer.
Janis Joplin
Audiences like their blues singers to be miserable.
Janis Joplin
I'm just doing what I wanted to and what feels right and not settling for bullshit and it worked. How can they be mad at that?
Janis Joplin
Oh, Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz - My friends all drive Porsches, I must make amends.
Janis Joplin
Why should I hold back now and sound mediocre, just so I can sound mediocre twenty years from now?
Janis Joplin
I can't talk about my singing I'm inside it. How can you describe something you're inside of?
Janis Joplin
