If I'm censoring for anyone, it's for my parents. They are very old-fashioned and moral people. They still don't understand me that well.

More quotes by Joni Mitchell
Laughing and crying, you know it's the same release.
Joni Mitchell
And the seasons they go 'round and 'round And the painted ponies go up and down We're captive on the carousel of time We can't return we can only look behind From where we came And go round and round and round In the circle game.
Joni Mitchell
Musically, I don't think I'd ever dry up. I trust my musical invention.
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
The thing that started me painting originally was seeing Bambi when I was about nine. I was incredibly disturbed by the forest fire that killed Bambi's mother, and that distress gave me the impulse to create something, as a way of dealing with it.
Joni Mitchell
I do have this reputation for being a serious person.
Joni Mitchell
I like my freedom. I like to do my own grocery shopping.
Joni Mitchell
It's life's illusions that I recall, I really don't know life at all
Joni Mitchell
So many things I would have done, but clouds got in my way.
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
I learned from admiration and osmosis.
Joni Mitchell
I see the entire world as Eden, and every time you take an inch of it away, you must do so with respect.
Joni Mitchell
I've looked at life from both sides now...from win and lose, and still somehow it's life's illusions I recall I really don't know life at all.
Joni Mitchell
Morgellons is constantly morphing. There are times when it's directly attacking the nervous system, as if you're being bitten by fleas and lice. It's all in the tissue and it's not a hallucination. It was eating me alive, sucking the juices out. I've been sick all my life.
Joni Mitchell
You wake up one day and suddenly realize that your youth is behind you, even though you're still young at heart.
Joni Mitchell
I have always thought of myself as a painter derailed by circumstance.
Joni Mitchell
An unhappy mother does not raise a happy child.
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 rock & roll industry is very incestuous, and we have all been close at one time or another. A lot of beautiful music and a lot of beautiful times came from that. A lot of pain, too, because, inevitably, different relationships broke up.
Joni Mitchell
I wish I had a river I could skate away on?
Joni Mitchell
