More quotes by 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
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
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
Gimme a pigfoot and a bottle of beer.
Janis Joplin
Why should I hold back now and sound mediocre, just so I can sound mediocre twenty years from now?
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 got to get it while you can.
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
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 one of those regular weird people.
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 think I think too much. That's why I drink!
Janis Joplin
I'm not really thinking much... Just sort of, trying to feel.
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
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
I love being a star more than life itself.
Janis Joplin
Audiences like their blues singers to be miserable.
Janis Joplin
Guess what, I might be the first hippie pinup girl.
Janis Joplin
You can destroy your now by worrying about tomorrow.
Janis Joplin
