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
Yesterday a child came out to wonder Caught a dragonfly inside a jar Fearful when the sky was full of thunder And tearful at the falling of a star
Joni Mitchell
We managed to put together a compilation that had some creativity to it. In the meantime I was listening to the free radio stations and I noticed that during their war coverage they were playing these songs born out of the Vietnam War that were all critical of the soldiers.
Joni Mitchell
The God of the Old Testament is the depiction of evil.
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
Rolling Stone hates me. They must have an editorial policy to do me in for many years.
Joni Mitchell
I can't remember anything I ever wrote.
Joni Mitchell
