Don't go looking for Mr. Right. Look for Mr. Right Now.
Janis Joplin
Image
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
Image
Oh, Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz - My friends all drive Porsches, I must make amends.
Janis Joplin

I had a lot of hurts and confusions. You know, it's hard when you're a kid to be different. You're all full of things, and you don't know that it's about.

If someone comes along, gonna give you some love and affection, I say get it while you can.

You are what you settle for. You are only as much as you settle for.

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

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
Image
Why should I hold back now and sound mediocre, just so I can sound mediocre twenty years from now?
Janis Joplin
Image
When everything is together - the band, me, the audience, it's boss! It's just like magic.
Janis Joplin

Honey, if you've had your eye on a piece of talent and that chick down the road has been getting all the action, then you know what you gotta do... Try A Little Bit Harder.
Janis Joplin

I started singing rhythmically, and now I'm learning from Otis Redding to push a song instead of just sliding over it
Janis Joplin
Image
You can't stay in your home town and play because the two people will get tired of seeing you.
Janis Joplin
Image
They asked me, How did you learn to sing the blues like that? How did you learn to sing that heavy? I just opened my mouth and that's what I sounded like. You can't make up something that you don't feel. I didn't make it up. I just opened my mouth and it existed.

I'm tired of all these hippie jack-offs

I believe the only people who truly experience and test the application of equality are twins.
