More quotes by Janis Joplin
If someone comes along, gonna give you some love and affection, I say get it while you can.
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
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
You know you've got it, if it makes you feel good.
Janis Joplin
You can destroy your now by worrying about tomorrow.
Janis Joplin
Audiences like their blues singers to be miserable.
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
Don't compromise your self, you're all you got.
Janis Joplin
Guess what, I might be the first hippie pinup girl.
Janis Joplin
You can feel all things at once, so why not wear all things at once?
Janis Joplin
I just want to feel as much as I can, it's what soul is all about.
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 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
When everything is together - the band, me, the audience, it's boss! It's just like magic.
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
If you've got a today, don't wear it tomorrow. Tomorrow never happens. It's all the same day.
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
If I hold back, I'm no good. I'm no good. I'd rather be good sometimes, than holding back all the time.
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
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
