I'm one of those regular weird people.
Janis Joplin
Image
When everything is together - the band, me, the audience, it's boss! It's just like magic.
Janis Joplin
Image
I believe the only people who truly experience and test the application of equality are twins.

As good as you've been to this world is as good as it's gonna be right back to you.
Janis Joplin
Image
If someone comes along, gonna give you some love and affection, I say get it while you can.
Janis Joplin
Image
If you've got a today, don't wear it tomorrow. Tomorrow never happens. It's all the same day.
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.
Janis Joplin
Image
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 just want to feel as much as I can, it's what soul is all about.
Janis Joplin

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

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
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
Image
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
Image
In my insides, it really hurts if someone doesn't like me. It's silly.
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
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
Image
I think I think too much. That's why I drink!
Janis Joplin
Image
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
Image
You know you've got it, if it makes you feel good.
Janis Joplin
Image
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.
