More quotes by Janis Joplin
I'm not really thinking much... Just sort of, trying to feel.
Janis Joplin
Oh Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz.
Janis Joplin
Honey, if you've had your eye on a piece of talent and that chick down the road has been getting all the action, then you know what you gotta do... Try A Little Bit Harder.
Janis Joplin
I always wanted to be an artist, whatever that was, like other chicks want to be stewardesses. I read. I painted. I thought.
Janis Joplin
I talk to the audience, look into their eyes. I need them and they need me.
Janis Joplin
Gimme a pigfoot and a bottle of beer.
Janis Joplin
Don't go looking for Mr. Right. Look for Mr. Right Now.
Janis Joplin
I just want to feel as much as I can, it's what soul is all about.
Janis Joplin
If you've got a today, don't wear it tomorrow. Tomorrow never happens. It's all the same day.
Janis Joplin
People, whether they know it or not, like their blues singers miserable. They like their blues singers to die afterwards.
Janis Joplin
Audiences like their blues singers to be miserable.
Janis Joplin
You can destroy your now by worrying about tomorrow.
Janis Joplin
You can feel all things at once, so why not wear all things at once?
Janis Joplin
When everything is together - the band, me, the audience, it's boss! It's just like magic.
Janis Joplin
I'm tired of all these hippie jack-offs
Janis Joplin
Life is too damn short and [screwed] up to go through it silently loving someone and never telling them how you feel. [Screw] the consequences, [screw] the implications of the actions, to hell with it all... whatever happens as a result is better than the nothingness that is inevitable with silence.
Janis Joplin
Freedom is just another word for when you have NOTHING left to lose.
Janis Joplin
Guess what, I might be the first hippie pinup girl.
Janis Joplin
You are what you settle for. You are only as much as you settle for.
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
