We have a war dictator who was not elected, he snuck in. so he punishes people that threaten him in any way, or even say something he doesn't like. It has no resemblance to democracy.

More quotes by Joni Mitchell
Land of snap decisions, land of short attention spans, nothing is savored long enough to really understand.
Joni Mitchell
It's life's illusions that I recall, I really don't know life at all
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
In some ways, my gift for music and writing was born out of tragedy, really, and loss.
Joni Mitchell
I certainly don't want to be an angry old artist.
Joni Mitchell
Rolling Stone hates me. They must have an editorial policy to do me in for many years.
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
Applause, applause, life is our cause.
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
You've got to keep the child alive you can't create without it.
Joni Mitchell
I have one piece of music, since 1997, and I don't see it having lyrics. Where does it go in this world? So I haven't recorded it.
Joni Mitchell
I learned from admiration and osmosis.
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
Back then, I didn't have a big organization around me. I was just a kid with a guitar, traveling around. My responsibility basically was to the art, and I had extra time on my hands. There is no extra time now. There isn't enough time.
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 only thing I have to give to make you smile, to win you with, are all the mornings still to live.
Joni Mitchell
Oh, I am a lonely painter / I live in a box of paints.
Joni Mitchell
I can't remember anything I ever wrote.
Joni Mitchell
A few drinks later you're not so choosy when the closing lights strip off the shadows on this strange new flesh you've found.
Joni Mitchell
Some turn to Jesus and some turn to heroin.
