More quotes by Janis Joplin
You can feel all things at once, so why not wear all things at once?
Janis Joplin
I just want to feel as much as I can, it's what soul is all about.
Janis Joplin
When everything is together - the band, me, the audience, it's boss! It's just like magic.
Janis Joplin
At least we know we tend to be afraid. If you object to my plural noun, I'll retract it.
Janis Joplin
You are what you settle for. You are only as much as you settle for.
Janis Joplin
If you've got a today, don't wear it tomorrow. Tomorrow never happens. It's all the same day.
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
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 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'm tired of all these hippie jack-offs
Janis Joplin
Don't compromise your self, you're all you got.
Janis Joplin
Why should I hold back now and sound mediocre, just so I can sound mediocre twenty years from now?
Janis Joplin
I won't quit to become someone's old lady.
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
I started singing rhythmically, and now I'm learning from Otis Redding to push a song instead of just sliding over it
Janis Joplin
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
You know you've got it, if it makes you feel good.
Janis Joplin
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.
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
