More quotes by Janis Joplin
Don't compromise your self, you're all you got.
Janis Joplin
It's hard to be free but when it works, it's worth it!
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
I'm tired of all these hippie jack-offs
Janis Joplin
Don't go looking for Mr. Right. Look for Mr. Right Now.
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
When everything is together - the band, me, the audience, it's boss! It's just like magic.
Janis Joplin
I won't quit to become someone's old lady.
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
Like most girls I'm always really self-conscious about do I look fat, if my legs are short, if I'm weird shaped, but when I go on stage, man, it never occurs to me. I think I look beautiful.
Janis Joplin
In my insides, it really hurts if someone doesn't like me. It's silly.
Janis Joplin
Hippies believe the world could be a better place. Beatniks believe things aren’t going to get better and say the hell with it, stay stoned and have a good time.
Janis Joplin
Distance cannot kill this relationship. Time cannot breakdown anything we have. This is a relationship that I am ready to sacrifice and stand up for.
Janis Joplin
I talk to the audience, look into their eyes. I need them and they need me.
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
I just want to feel as much as I can, it's what soul is all about.
Janis Joplin
Why should I hold back now and sound mediocre, just so I can sound mediocre twenty years from now?
Janis Joplin
I can't talk about my singing I'm inside it. How can you describe something you're inside of?
Janis Joplin
You can't stay in your home town and play because the two people will get tired of seeing you.
Janis Joplin
