More quotes by Janis Joplin
Gimme a pigfoot and a bottle of beer.
Janis Joplin
You are what you settle for. You are only as much as you settle for.
Janis Joplin
I can't talk about my singing I'm inside it. How can you describe something you're inside of?
Janis Joplin
What we've had to do is learn to control success, put it in perspective, and not lose the essence of what we're doing - the music.
Janis Joplin
You can't stay in your home town and play because the two people will get tired of seeing you.
Janis Joplin
You can destroy your now by worrying about tomorrow.
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'm not really thinking much... Just sort of, trying to feel.
Janis Joplin
I just want to feel as much as I can, it's what soul is all about.
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 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
They asked me, How did you learn to sing the blues like that? How did you learn to sing that heavy? I just opened my mouth and that's what I sounded like. You can't make up something that you don't feel. I didn't make it up. I just opened my mouth and it existed.
Janis Joplin
When everything is together - the band, me, the audience, it's boss! It's just like magic.
Janis Joplin
I love being a star more than life itself.
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
I started singing rhythmically, and now I'm learning from Otis Redding to push a song instead of just sliding over it
Janis Joplin
Oh, Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz - My friends all drive Porsches, I must make amends.
Janis Joplin
At least we know we tend to be afraid. If you object to my plural noun, I'll retract it.
Janis Joplin
I'm tired of all these hippie jack-offs
Janis Joplin
Oh Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz.
Janis Joplin
