More quotes by Joni Mitchell
I know my generation - a lot of them, they're getting old now, and they want to think back fondly, they want to kid themselves. A lot of them think, 'Yeah, we were the best.' That's the kiss of death. That's non-growth. And also that's very bad for the world.
Joni Mitchell
People were very protective of me. Overly so. I was in the industry for a long time before I had any idea of what drugs people were doing.
Joni Mitchell
Inside your own self pity there you swim, in sinking down to drown her voice still haunts you, and only with your laughter can you win.
Joni Mitchell
I learned from admiration and osmosis.
Joni Mitchell
Nobody understood The Reoccurring Dream, but after September 11, when we were coerced to do a national duty and go out and shop, surely people could begin to see what I was getting at.
Joni Mitchell
I certainly don't want to be an angry old artist.
Joni Mitchell
When I think of your kisses my mind see-saws.
Joni Mitchell
If you see yourself as a kingly type, then you need your serfs and your army and so on around you.
Joni Mitchell

Joni Mitchell
My family could only afford to get me the box of eight Crayola crayons, but I craved the one with all 24 colours. I wanted magenta and turquoise and silver and gold.
Joni Mitchell
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot.
Joni Mitchell
Musically, I don't think I'd ever dry up. I trust my musical invention.
Joni Mitchell
My childhood was very difficult. I had every childhood disease and then some, but my parents didnt mollycoddle me. They left me to fight those battles on my own. I guess that was very Canadian, very stoic. But its good. I had to become a warrior. I had to give up hope and find a substitute for hope that would be far more stable.
Joni Mitchell
Give me spots on my apples, but leave me the birds and the bees, please.
Joni Mitchell
Fear is like the wilderland - Stepping stones or sinking sand
Joni Mitchell
Americans have decided to be stupid and shallow since 1980.
Joni Mitchell
I assume there must be some kind of genetic thrust. My two grandmothers were very different, but both of them were frustrated musicians.
Joni Mitchell
The pirate he will sink you with a kiss, he'll steal your heart and sail away.
Joni Mitchell
I find a lot of poetry to be narcissistic.
Joni Mitchell
