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'm one of those regular weird people.
Janis Joplin

Janis Joplin
I think I think too much. That's why I drink!
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
All any girl really wants is just love and a man. But what man can put up with a rock-n-roll star?

Guess what, I might be the first hippie pinup girl.
Janis Joplin
