Oh, I am a lonely painter / I live in a box of paints.
Joni Mitchell
All I really, really want our love to do is to bring out the best in me and in you too.
Joni Mitchell
Fly silly sea bird, no dreams can possess you, no voices can blame you for sun on your wings.
Joni Mitchell
They won't give peace a chance, that's just a dream some of us had
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
I heard someone from the music business saying they are no longer looking for talent, they want people with a certain look and a willingness to cooperate.
Joni Mitchell
I'm a method actress in my songs, which is why it's hard to sing them.
Joni Mitchell
I never loved a man as far as I could pitch my shoe.
Joni Mitchell
When I think of your kisses my mind see-saws.
Joni Mitchell
I lost my daughter at 21. I had to give her up because I was broke, no place to take her, no money to take her. That was very traumatic.
Joni Mitchell
I can't remember anything I ever wrote.
Joni Mitchell
I come from pioneer stock, developers of the West, people who went out into the wilderness and set up home with nothing but a pair of oxen.
Joni Mitchell
I'm a very analytical person, a somewhat introspective person that's the nature of the work I do.
Joni Mitchell
They paved paradise and put up a parkin lot With a pink hotel, a boutique, and a swingin' hot spot Don't it always seem to go That you don't know what you got till it's gone
Joni Mitchell
The most important thing is to write in your own blood. I bare intimate feelings because people should know how other people feel.
Joni Mitchell
They took all the trees and put them in a tree museum.
Joni Mitchell
My style of songwriting is influenced by cinema. I'm a frustrated filmmaker. A fan once said to me, 'Girl, you make me see pictures in my head!' and I took that as a great compliment. That's exactly my intention.
Joni Mitchell
They'll crucify you for staying the same, and they'll crucify you for change. I'd rather be crucified for changing.
Joni Mitchell
You could write a song about some kind of emotional problem you are having, but it would not be a good song, in my eyes, until it went through a period of sensitivity to a moment of clarity. Without that moment of clarity to contribute to the song, it's just complaining.
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
