More quotes by Janis Joplin
Don't compromise your self, you're all you got.
Janis Joplin
I just want to feel as much as I can, it's what soul is all about.
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
Gimme a pigfoot and a bottle of beer.
Janis Joplin
You can't stay in your home town and play because the two people will get tired of seeing you.
Janis Joplin
I won't quit to become someone's old lady.
Janis Joplin
I love being a star more than life itself.
Janis Joplin
If you've got a today, don't wear it tomorrow. Tomorrow never happens. It's all the same day.
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
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
You can destroy your now by worrying about tomorrow.
Janis Joplin
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.
Janis Joplin
In my insides, it really hurts if someone doesn't like me. It's silly.
Janis Joplin
I'm not really thinking much... Just sort of, trying to feel.
Janis Joplin
Oh Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz.
Janis Joplin
Distance cannot kill this relationship. Time cannot breakdown anything we have. This is a relationship that I am ready to sacrifice and stand up for.
Janis Joplin
You know you've got it, if it makes you feel good.
Janis Joplin
Honey, if you've had your eye on a piece of talent and that chick down the road has been getting all the action, then you know what you gotta do... Try A Little Bit Harder.
Janis Joplin
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
Don't go looking for Mr. Right. Look for Mr. Right Now.
Janis Joplin
