If someone comes along, gonna give you some love and affection, I say get it while you can.

Why should I hold back now and sound mediocre, just so I can sound mediocre twenty years from now?
Janis Joplin
Image
What we've had to do is learn to control success, put it in perspective, and not lose the essence of what we're doing - the music.
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
Image
I'm not really thinking much... Just sort of, trying to feel.
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
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'm one of those regular weird people.
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.
Janis Joplin
Image
I talk to the audience, look into their eyes. I need them and they need me.
Janis Joplin
Image
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.

You got to get it while you can.
