More quotes by Janis Joplin
You can feel all things at once, so why not wear all things at once?
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'm tired of all these hippie jack-offs
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
If you've got a today, don't wear it tomorrow. Tomorrow never happens. It's all the same day.
Janis Joplin
Oh, Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz - My friends all drive Porsches, I must make amends.
Janis Joplin
I won't quit to become someone's old lady.
Janis Joplin
Why should I hold back now and sound mediocre, just so I can sound mediocre twenty years from now?
Janis Joplin
In my insides, it really hurts if someone doesn't like me. It's silly.
Janis Joplin
If someone comes along, gonna give you some love and affection, I say get it while you can.
Janis Joplin
You know you've got it, if it makes you feel good.
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
I love being a star more than life itself.
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
I talk to the audience, look into their eyes. I need them and they need me.
Janis Joplin
Freedom is just another word for when you have NOTHING left to lose.
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
I'm one of those regular weird people.
Janis Joplin
I would trade all my tomorrow's for one single yesterday.
Janis Joplin
It's hard to be free but when it works, it's worth it!
Janis Joplin
