Janis Joplin
All any girl really wants is just love and a man. But what man can put up with a rock-n-roll star?
Janis Joplin
I love being a star more than life itself.
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
People, whether they know it or not, like their blues singers miserable. They like their blues singers to die afterwards.
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
