More quotes by 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.

I think I think too much. That's why I drink!
Janis Joplin
Image
I can't talk about my singing I'm inside it. How can you describe something you're inside of?
Janis Joplin
Image
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

Don't compromise your self, you're all you got.

Why should I hold back now and sound mediocre, just so I can sound mediocre twenty years from now?
Janis Joplin
Image
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
Image
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
Image
I love being a star more than life itself.
Janis Joplin
Image
You are what you settle for. You are only as much as you settle for.
Janis Joplin

I'm tired of all these hippie jack-offs
Janis Joplin
Image
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
Image
At least we know we tend to be afraid. If you object to my plural noun, I'll retract it.
Janis Joplin
Image
In my insides, it really hurts if someone doesn't like me. It's silly.
Janis Joplin
Image
I'm just doing what I wanted to and what feels right and not settling for bullshit and it worked. How can they be mad at that?
Janis Joplin
Image
If I hold back, I'm no good. I'm no good. I'd rather be good sometimes, than holding back all the time.

You can't stay in your home town and play because the two people will get tired of seeing you.
