You know you've got it, if it makes you feel good.
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

Janis Joplin
I'm one of those regular weird people.
Janis Joplin
At least we know we tend to be afraid. If you object to my plural noun, I'll retract it.
Janis Joplin

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
Freedom is just another word for when you have NOTHING left to lose.
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
You got to get it while you can.
Janis Joplin
I love being a star more than life itself.
Janis Joplin
If I hold back, I'm no good. I'm no good. I'd rather be good sometimes, than holding back all the time.
Janis Joplin
You can feel all things at once, so why not wear all things at once?
Janis Joplin
I can't talk about my singing I'm inside it. How can you describe something you're inside of?
Janis Joplin
I would trade all my tomorrow's for one single yesterday.
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
When everything is together - the band, me, the audience, it's boss! It's just like magic.
Janis Joplin
If you've got a today, don't wear it tomorrow. Tomorrow never happens. It's all the same day.
Janis Joplin
Oh, Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz - My friends all drive Porsches, I must make amends.
Janis Joplin
