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
I'm not really thinking much... Just sort of, trying to feel.
Janis Joplin
Image
They asked me, How did you learn to sing the blues like that? How did you learn to sing that heavy? I just opened my mouth and that's what I sounded like. You can't make up something that you don't feel. I didn't make it up. I just opened my mouth and it existed.

It's hard to be free but when it works, it's worth it!
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
Freedom is just another word for when you have NOTHING left to lose.
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
People, whether they know it or not, like their blues singers miserable. They like their blues singers to die afterwards.
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.
Janis Joplin

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
I talk to the audience, look into their eyes. I need them and they need me.
Janis Joplin
Image
You can't stay in your home town and play because the two people will get tired of seeing you.
Janis Joplin
Image
Don't go looking for Mr. Right. Look for Mr. Right Now.
Janis Joplin
Image
Why should I hold back now and sound mediocre, just so I can sound mediocre twenty years from now?
Janis Joplin
Image
I started singing rhythmically, and now I'm learning from Otis Redding to push a song instead of just sliding over it
Janis Joplin
Image
You can destroy your now by worrying about tomorrow.
Janis Joplin
Image
In my insides, it really hurts if someone doesn't like me. It's silly.
Janis Joplin
Image
I believe the only people who truly experience and test the application of equality are twins.
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.
Janis Joplin

I just want to feel as much as I can, it's what soul is all about.
