More quotes by Janis Joplin
You can't stay in your home town and play because the two people will get tired of seeing you.
Janis Joplin
When everything is together - the band, me, the audience, it's boss! It's just like magic.
Janis Joplin
You are what you settle for. You are only as much as you settle for.
Janis Joplin
I'm not really thinking much... Just sort of, trying to feel.
Janis Joplin
Freedom is just another word for when you have NOTHING left to lose.
Janis Joplin
Like most girls I'm always really self-conscious about do I look fat, if my legs are short, if I'm weird shaped, but when I go on stage, man, it never occurs to me. I think I look beautiful.
Janis Joplin
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'm one of those regular weird people.
Janis Joplin
Don't compromise your self, you're all you got.
Janis Joplin
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
As good as you've been to this world is as good as it's gonna be right back to you.
Janis Joplin
You know you've got it, if it makes you feel good.
Janis Joplin
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
I can't talk about my singing I'm inside it. How can you describe something you're inside of?
Janis Joplin
I would trade all my tomorrow's for one single yesterday.
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
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
At least we know we tend to be afraid. If you object to my plural noun, I'll retract it.
Janis Joplin
I talk to the audience, look into their eyes. I need them and they need me.
Janis Joplin
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
