[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.

I'm one of those regular weird people.
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

At my concerts most of the chicks are looking for liberation, they think I'm gonna show 'em how to do it.
