There was this mountain village in Russia where my music was getting in on some German radio station. I remember this because music used to get up to Saskatchewan from Texas. Late at night after the local station closed down.

More quotes by Joni Mitchell
I can't remember anything I ever wrote.
Joni Mitchell
Rolling Stone hates me. They must have an editorial policy to do me in for many years.
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
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
I'm your biggest fan, California, I'm coming home
Joni Mitchell
I'm not a pitiable creature. It's just that I suffer very eloquently.
Joni Mitchell
Inside your own self pity there you swim, in sinking down to drown her voice still haunts you, and only with your laughter can you win.
Joni Mitchell
With a painting, you don't have to go back and paint it again.
Joni Mitchell
I think I would go further into fine arts, I think, if I were to continue.
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 was anti-intellectual to the nth. Basically I liked to dance and paint, and that was about it.
Joni Mitchell
I have always thought of myself as a painter derailed by circumstance.
Joni Mitchell
During times like these, the wise are influential.
Joni Mitchell
I wish I had a river I could skate away on?
Joni Mitchell
Let light hearts remake us.
Joni Mitchell
I like my freedom. I like to do my own grocery shopping. People do recognize you. They are kind of shocked. Some people like it. It makes them feel at ease. It confirms their hopes that you are in fact similar to them.
Joni Mitchell
What I do is unusual: chordal movements that have never been used before, changing keys and modalities mid-song.
Joni Mitchell
Applause, applause, life is our cause.
Joni Mitchell
I create by feeling rather than by intellectualizing.
Joni Mitchell
