Janis Joplin
I'm not really thinking much... Just sort of, trying to feel.
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

Janis Joplin
As good as you've been to this world is as good as it's gonna be right back to you.
Janis Joplin
It's hard to be free but when it works, it's worth it!
Janis Joplin
You can't stay in your home town and play because the two people will get tired of seeing you.
Janis Joplin
People, whether they know it or not, like their blues singers miserable. They like their blues singers to die afterwards.
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 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
