More quotes by Janis Joplin
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
You got to get it while you can.
Janis Joplin
Guess what, I might be the first hippie pinup girl.
Janis Joplin
You are what you settle for. You are only as much as you settle for.
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
As good as you've been to this world is as good as it's gonna be right back to you.
Janis Joplin

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
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
Audiences like their blues singers to be miserable.
Janis Joplin
I just want to feel as much as I can, it's what soul is all about.
Janis Joplin
Oh Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz.
Janis Joplin
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
