More quotes by Janis Joplin
When everything is together - the band, me, the audience, it's boss! It's just like magic.
Janis Joplin
I want a bigger band with higher highs, a bigger ladder. And I want more bottom - I want an incredible amount of bottom. I want more noise. When I do a rock tune I want it to be so HUGE.
Janis Joplin
In my insides, it really hurts if someone doesn't like me. It's silly.
Janis Joplin
I'm one of those regular weird people.
Janis Joplin
Audiences like their blues singers to be miserable.
Janis Joplin
I just want to feel as much as I can, it's what soul is all about.
Janis Joplin
I'm not really thinking much... Just sort of, trying to feel.
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
It's hard to be free but when it works, it's worth it!
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
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.
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.
Janis Joplin
You are what you settle for. You are only as much as you settle for.
Janis Joplin
Freedom is just another word for when you have NOTHING left to lose.
Janis Joplin
You can feel all things at once, so why not wear all things at once?
Janis Joplin
Oh Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz.
Janis Joplin
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
Why should I hold back now and sound mediocre, just so I can sound mediocre twenty years from now?
Janis Joplin
You can destroy your now by worrying about tomorrow.
Janis Joplin
I believe the only people who truly experience and test the application of equality are twins.
Janis Joplin
