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.

More quotes by 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 won't quit to become someone's old lady.
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
It's hard to be free but when it works, it's worth it!
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
Guess what, I might be the first hippie pinup girl.
Janis Joplin
At my concerts most of the chicks are looking for liberation, they think I'm gonna show 'em how to do it.
Janis Joplin
I just want to feel as much as I can, it's what soul is all about.
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 always wanted to be an artist, whatever that was, like other chicks want to be stewardesses. I read. I painted. I thought.
Janis Joplin
Audiences like their blues singers to be miserable.
Janis Joplin
People, whether they know it or not, like their blues singers miserable. They like their blues singers to die afterwards.
Janis Joplin
Oh Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz.
Janis Joplin
In my insides, it really hurts if someone doesn't like me. It's silly.
Janis Joplin
I can't talk about my singing I'm inside it. How can you describe something you're inside of?
Janis Joplin
I talk to the audience, look into their eyes. I need them and they need me.
Janis Joplin
I'm not really thinking much... Just sort of, trying to feel.
Janis Joplin
I'm one of those regular weird people.
Janis Joplin
I think I think too much. That's why I drink!
Janis Joplin
When everything is together - the band, me, the audience, it's boss! It's just like magic.
Janis Joplin
