More quotes by Joni Mitchell
My name had gone stale, and no matter how progressive I got, it was my time to die.
Joni Mitchell
I have always thought of myself as a painter derailed by circumstance.
Joni Mitchell
I came through folk music simply because it was easy to get into it.
Joni Mitchell
When the spirit of child's play enters into the creative process, it's a wonderful force and something to be nurtured.
Joni Mitchell
You have this mounting aggressive ignorance with the rabbit's foot of their particular religion. You don't really have any kind of spiritual law, just a kind of a rabid mental illness. The songs are a little slice of life.
Joni Mitchell
I don't know who I am but you know, life is for learning.
Joni Mitchell
To enjoy my music, you need depth and emotionality.
Joni Mitchell
Do you want - do you want - do you want to dance with me baby?
Joni Mitchell
you dont know what you got till its gone
Joni Mitchell
The pirate he will sink you with a kiss, he'll steal your heart and sail away.
Joni Mitchell
At the point where I'm trying to force something and it's not happening, and I'm getting frustrated with, say, writing a poem, I can go and pick up the brushes and start painting. At the point where the painting seems to not be going anywhere, I go and pick up the guitar.
Joni Mitchell
Love is a very hard feeling to keep alive. It's a very fragile plant.
Joni Mitchell
Let light hearts remake us.
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
With a painting, you don't have to go back and paint it again.
Joni Mitchell
You can give me 400,000 hostile people and I won't even break sweat. If you give me 200 adoring people, my mouth will dry out.
Joni Mitchell
I create by feeling rather than by intellectualizing.
Joni Mitchell
I got in before SoHo was SoHo. It was just Little Italy when I was in there. It's still off the touristy track. It's just away from the Saturday action, the crowds and everything. It's too expensive. It's insane. You've got to be a billionaire to live on Manhattan now.
Joni Mitchell
The considerations of a corporation, especially now, have nothing to do with art or music.
Joni Mitchell
White rhythm is waltzes, marches, and the polka. In Africa, rhythm is used for a celebratory groove, but white rhythm doesn't have such an enormous vocabulary of spirits. It's basically militant.
Joni Mitchell
