Joni Mitchell

Joni Mitchell
You snipe so steady, you snub so snide, so rip and ready to diminish and deride.
Joni Mitchell
I conceived in art college at the age of 20, near the end of term.
Joni Mitchell
All romantics meet the same fate some day. Drunk and cynical and boring someone in some dark cafe.
Joni Mitchell
Some get the gravy, some get the gristle.
Joni Mitchell
The only thing I have to give to make you smile, to win you with, are all the mornings still to live.
Joni Mitchell
My style of songwriting is influenced by cinema. I'm a frustrated filmmaker. A fan once said to me, 'Girl, you make me see pictures in my head!' and I took that as a great compliment. That's exactly my intention.
Joni Mitchell
