I just want to feel as much as I can, it's what soul is all about.
Janis Joplin
Image
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.

I love being a star more than life itself.

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.

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

Hippies believe the world could be a better place. Beatniks believe things aren’t going to get better and say the hell with it, stay stoned and have a good time.
Janis Joplin
Image
To be true to myself, to be the person that was on the inside of me, and not play games. That's what I'm trying to do mostly in the whole world, is not bullshit myself and not bullshit anybody else.
Janis Joplin
Image
At least we know we tend to be afraid. If you object to my plural noun, I'll retract it.
Janis Joplin
Image
Audiences like their blues singers to be miserable.
Janis Joplin
Image
If someone comes along, gonna give you some love and affection, I say get it while you can.
Janis Joplin

Oh Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz.
Janis Joplin
Image
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
Image
I'm tired of all these hippie jack-offs
Janis Joplin
Image
Guess what, I might be the first hippie pinup girl.
Janis Joplin

Don't go looking for Mr. Right. Look for Mr. Right Now.

People, whether they know it or not, like their blues singers miserable. They like their blues singers to die afterwards.
