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
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

Joni Mitchell
I learned from admiration and osmosis.
Joni Mitchell
