More quotes by Joni Mitchell
Just before our love got lost you said I am as constant as a northern star And I said, constantly in the darkness, Where's that at? If you want me I'll be in the bar.
Joni Mitchell
But now old friends are acting strange They shake their heads, they say I've changed Well something's lost, but something's gained In living every day
Joni Mitchell
Applause, applause, life is our cause.
Joni Mitchell
I see bodies as individual things.
Joni Mitchell
I was young for my age. Not as naïve as they expected. I don't know why I seem to bring that out in people.
Joni Mitchell
Laughing and crying, you know it's the same release.
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 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
The considerations of a corporation, especially now, have nothing to do with art or music.
Joni Mitchell
So many things I would have done, but clouds got in my way.
Joni Mitchell
Does the moon play only silver when it strums the galaxy?
Joni Mitchell
Some get the gravy, some get the gristle.
Joni Mitchell
I'm a method actress in my songs, which is why it's hard to sing them.
Joni Mitchell
No one likes to have less than they had before. That's the nature of the human animal.
Joni Mitchell
In some ways, my gift for music and writing was born out of tragedy, really, and loss.
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
We are stardust, we are golden and we've got to get ourselves back to the garden.
Joni Mitchell
Once I got the open tunings for some reason, I began to get the harmonic sophistication that I heard that my musical fountain inside was excited by. Once I got some interesting chords to play with, my writing began to come.
Joni Mitchell
The pirate he will sink you with a kiss, he'll steal your heart and sail away.
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
