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.

Why should I hold back now and sound mediocre, just so I can sound mediocre twenty years from now?
Janis Joplin
Image
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.
Janis Joplin
Image
I'm not really thinking much... Just sort of, trying to feel.
Janis Joplin
Image
I got treated very badly in Texas. They don't treat beatniks too good in Texas. Port Arthur people thought I was a beatnik, though they'd never seen one and neither had I.
Janis Joplin
Image
Guess what, I might be the first hippie pinup girl.
Janis Joplin
Image
I won't quit to become someone's old lady.
Janis Joplin
Image
I always wanted to be an artist, whatever that was, like other chicks want to be stewardesses. I read. I painted. I thought.

I talk to the audience, look into their eyes. I need them and they need me.
