More quotes by Janis Joplin
You got to get it while you can.

When everything is together - the band, me, the audience, it's boss! It's just like magic.
Janis Joplin
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
Audiences like their blues singers to be miserable.
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
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
I think I think too much. That's why I drink!
Janis Joplin
